The validity of P. gracilis and P. hoylei was established more recently (Zeidler 1998), but the status of P. newtoniana is uncertain, as the description given by Bovallius is limited, the type material appears lost, and no figures are available in the literature. It seems to be very similar to P. hoylei, except for pereopod 6, in which the antero-distal corner of the merus does not overlap the carpus, but the two species may yet prove to be synonymous. The specimens mentioned by Harbison et al. (1977) were not available for examination, and until more material becomes available, only two species are currently recognised.
