Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Van Beneden (1850; cit 470; pg. 277) was first to use the name P. thridax but no diagnosis or figures were presented. Later that year, Van Beneden (1850; cit 472; pg. 122) presented a complete description of this species, accompanied by figures. We consider cit 472 to be the first valid use of this name.
