Description. See Köhler & Mohrig (2016).

Genetic distances. The maximum p-distance between all eleven available COI sequences is 0.46%. The nearest neighbour is Psl. huttoni , diverging by a minimum of 2.75%. The maximum p-distance between all twelve available 28S sequences is 0.17%. Some of these sequences are identical to those of Psl. gonotegmenta, Psl. huttoni, Psl. jaschhofi, Psl. macrotegmenta, Psl. plicitegmenta, Psl. robustotegmenta, Psl. subtilitegmenta, Psl. tonnoiri , and Psl. wernermohrigi .

Remarks. Among the paratypes of Psl. macrotegmenta , designated by Mohrig & Jaschhof (1999), there was one specimen of Psl. frederickedwardsi (see Psl. macrotegmenta ). Dorsal structures on the tegmen, which occur in several species of this complex, are absent.
