Remarks
The new species resembles P. queirozi in the shape of the subanal
appendage and cephalic chaetotaxy but can be clearly distinguished by
the number of subsegments of Ant. IV (eight in P. queirozi , 10 in
the new species), the presence of inner tooth in all ungues, and apical
filament exceeding the tip of the unguis in all three empodial complexes
in P. queirozi . The new species is similar to P. hermesisp. n. in the shape of subanal appendages, the lack of inner
tooth of all ungues. They differ by the number of eyes (1+1 in P.
fallaciosus sp. n. and 0+0 in P. hermesi sp.
n. ), number of subsegments in Ant. IV (10 and nine respectively), the
lack of corner tooth in all unguiculi and mucro with inner lamella
smooth in P. hermesi sp. n. The reduced number of
chaetae on the dorsal posterior part of the great abdomen (17+17) also
differentiate P. fallaciosus sp. n. from other species
of the queirozi-group (all the species which share the same female
subanal appendages).
