Marcus (1984) SE; Espinosa et al. (2006) NW; Collin et al. (2005); Valdés et al. (2006); Rudman (2006c) s (of ^P. atlanticus^) Comments: Internal shell 5 mm (Thompson 1977). Valdés et al. (2006) distinguish this species in the tubercles smaller in the center of the dorsum compared to P. crossei/P. atlanticus, which has tubercles all of similar size. Rudman (2006) synonymized P. evelinae with P. atlanticus but did not address the size of the tubercles.
