  • In Taiwan, P. m u ro n i s (Tanaka, 1918) has been recorded for several decades (Chen, 1969; Shen, 1984a, b; Chen & Yu, 1986; Shen et al., 1993), whereas P. macrophthalma has never been mentioned, probably due to the close similarity of the two species. Johnson (2006) outlined the common features of the species, such as five dark transverse bars on the upper body, the presence of palatine teeth, and similar body shape and most meristic values; however characters that differentiate these two species were not provided.
