Remarks

freshwater, estuary.
Incomplete data.
In Lobus species group (forbesi subgroup) after Walter & al. 2006, p.203.
Walter (1994, p.124) notes the confusion about the identity of P. lobipes and P. binghami discussed by Reddy & Radhakrishna (1982). The original illustrations of P. lobipes lack many details.
