Two of these, P. izel and P. nympha exhibit remarkable troglomorphisms (adaptations to life in caves), such as depigmentation, absence of eyes and elongation of appendages. These conditions are discussed and their ocurrence is compared with the other 3 species of the genus that do not exhibit troglomorphisms. A dichotomic key to identify the 5 known species of the genus is provided.]]></p></abstract>

Dos de estas especies, P. izel y P. nympha exhiben notables troglomorfismos (adaptaciones para la vida en cuevas), tales como decoloración, ausencia de ojos y elongación de los apéndices. Se discuten estas condiciones y su presencia y se comparan con las 3 especies del género restantes, las cuales no presentan estas características. Se provee una clave para la identificación de las 5 especies del género.]]></p></abstract>
