Diagnostic characters. The pupa differs from that of P. (Pr.) marcondesi by having more extensive shagreen including shagreen spinules anterior on tergite VIII and on sternites VI–VIII. The larva has an AR of about 1.4 against 1.0– 1.1 in P. (Pr.) marcondesi and the distance between the ventromental plates is about as long as the four median teeth combined, while it is clearly less than the width of the four median teeth combined in P. (Pr.) marcondesi .

Description. The immatures are described in detail by Grodhaus and Rotramel (1980).
