The new- species is characterized by the following features: The 3rd maxilliped of the adult male has a dactylus as long as or slightly shorter tha n the propodus which has only a rudimentary tuft of hair instead of a long tuft of bristles as in P. indicus ; the anterior plate of the thelycum is triangular and relatively prominent.
