Female (from (Cochin Backwater, India): 29, habitus (lateral; with detail of thoracic segment 5 edge); 30, P5.
Nota:
- Ratio cephalothorax : urosome = 1.5.
- Proportions of the abdominal segments 32, 18, 22, 11; right caudal ramus 17 (20 %). Caudal ramus length 17, breadth 7 (The different lengths of the caudal rami may be an artefact: Length: breadth = 2.5 right; 2.4 left).

Male:
- 27, habitus (lateral; with detail of thoracic segment 5 edge); 28, P5.
Nota: Proportions of the urosomal segments 13, 18, 19, 21, 11; right and left caudal rami = 18 %.
- Caudal ramus length : breadth = 2,7.

Rem: The present form differs from P. binghami Sewell by different aspects: The female P5 has one terminal spine less, and the proportions of the spines are different; the female caudal rami proportions are slightly different; the female abdomen bears another pattern of spinulation dorsally; Tthe thoracic segment 5 bears some spinules ventro-laterally in both sexes; the male P5 differs in having an additional projection on the long projection of the left basipod 2, and there is a long broad spine on exopod segments 2-3.
Scale : single line = 0.1 mm ; double line = 0.05 mm.
