The male is characterised by the lack of hairs on the dorso-lateral projection of the gonostylus, which is a character also occurring in P. minima.Both are easy to distinguish by the structure of the scutal surface, which is finely reticulate in P. minimaand coarsely reticulate in P. drakensbergensis.
