The female of this species is characterized by rudimentary arolia and the head and thorax with thin black erect setae, and the propodeum with white ones. The tarsal rake of the foreleg is similar in P. hirsuta and not as long as in P. luffii .

The male of P. dispar differs from P. tydei , P. luffii and P. mauritanica by the shape of penis valve (figs 40, 65, 90 and 102). In addition, erect setae on the head and thorax are whitish.
