The larva is similar to larvae of P. chelifer Bengtsson, 1908 and P. minor (Bengtsson, 1909) and differs from larva of P. chelifer by shape and length/width ratio of gills I, VI and VII, and from larva of P. minor by the absence of maculation on the abdominal terga and by the length of posterolateral spines of tergum IX.
