For Tanaka, P5 are in the main as those of P. serricaudatus , but the distal exopodal segment of left leg is prolonged into a long curved spine, and the outer edge spine on the 1st exopodal segment of the same leg is so long that it reaches the distal margin of the terminal spine of the 3rd segment.

Remarks

Coastal. Brackish. Estuary.
Observed off Cape of Good Hope. For Sewell (1947) this form from Indian origin would have conquered the west African coasts by going round southern Africa. According to Grindley (1963, p.387) P. nudus differs from P. serricaudatus (T. Scott, 1894) to which it is closely allied: In both sexes the posterior thoracic margin is spineless (presumably the name nudus). The author is doutful as to wether this species is really distinct from serricaudatus but a re-examination of T. Scott's types will be necessary.
For Wellershaus (1969, p.259) the armature and shape of the female thoracic segment 5, abdominal segments 1-2 and 5 show the main differences between P. serricaudatus and P. nidus from the Cape of Good Hope (see Tanaka, 1960; Grindley, 1963). The terminal dagger-like seta in the female P5 is longer than in P. nudus. The animals in the Cochin Backwater almost entirely resemble Vervoort's description ; they differ slightly in the shape of the female abdominal 1-2, in the male abdominal 1 and 2, and in the armature of anal segment of both sexes.
Bradford-Grieve & al. (1999) do not acknowledge the synonymy with P. nudus, in contrast with Vervoort (1965, p.94-96).
In Ramosus species group (serricaudatus subgroup) after Walter & al. 2006, p.203.
