Pahang Swollen-palped Goblin
This is one of the two species in Singapore. It is slightly smaller than P. schwendingeri Baehr, 2012, the second species in Singapore, which is also found in Indonesia (West Java: Cibodas, and different parts of Sumatra). They differ mainly in the details of their copulatory organs.
