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).
