The mean female size is 2.848 mm (n = 25; SD = 0.2662), and the mean male size 2.719 mm (n = 12; SD = 0.1881). The size ratio (male : female) is 0.963 (n = 7; SD = 0.0839), or ± 96 %. In the samples, the sex ratio (female : male) is 1.875.
Rem.: epipelagic. 80-301 m at Station N-1 (SW Bösö, E middle Japan) from Furuhashi (1966 aà.
For Bradford & al. (1983, p.43) this species resembles P. concinna, but the female of the latter species has the posterolateral corners of the metasome posteriorly produced and an incision on the left side of the genital segment when view in dorsal view.
For Park (1995, p.18) the species belongs to ''concinna'' Group. This species was found, often in large numbers, off the west coast of America between 16°N and 12°S and off the Philippines and Japan between 4°N and 35°N.
For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value of the mandibular gnathobase = 730.
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is a seizing and masticating carnivorous.
