Similar species.

Smooth mesopostnotum (Fig. 19), claws without subapical tooth (Fig. 21), and the structure of serrula (Fig. 187) or penis valves (Fig. 262) allow separation of this species from other similar species in the ruficornis and rufipes groups.

Genetic data.

Based on COI barcode sequences, specimens of this species are divided between two BIN clusters (BOLD:AAG7866 and BOLD:AAU8684) (Fig. 1 in Prous et al. 2016). Minimum distance between the clusters is 3.26%. However, BOLD:AAU8684 might represent a cluster of nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes ( Prous et al. 2016). Based on nuclear data (two specimens and both genes combined), maximum within species divergence is 0.3% and the nearest neighbour is 1.8% different ( P. pusilla ).

Host plants.
