Flint 1974: 18.

This species is similar to P. cana and P. chitaria , n. sp. In both species the apical sections of tergum X are similarly developed and the apex of the ventral margin of segment IX is partially fused to the ventral apex of sternum VIII, forming what appears to be paired lateral processes. In P. boruca these processes are very wide basally. Also the apex of sternum VIII in P. boruca is more distinctly upturned than in the other species.
