( Figs. 50–57)
Remarks and Distribution.This species ranges from Quebecsouth along the Appalachians to West Virginiaand Kentucky( Nelson 2000). Larvae of this species are most similar to P. scottibut can be distinguished by the spines on the abdominal segments. In P. proteus,spines of AB 1-7 are well developed with the largest projections possessing a convex outer margin and appearing hook-shaped in dorsal view ( Figs. 51, 54, 57). When viewed laterally, the spines of AB5-7 are well defined, rugose, triangular shaped projections, the dorsal edge projecting caudally, parallel to the lateral surface of the segment ( Figs. 50, 53). Measured in dorsal view AB-4 POM/SW ≥ 0.15; AB-6 POM/SW> 0.12 (Care should be used in the use of these ratios due to marginal overlap in observed measurements with P. scotti) ( Figs. 10, 51, 54). Live and recently preserved specimens also possesses a distinctive median yellow antennal band that is absent in P. scotti( Figs. 56, 57).
