The following description is from Baird’s (1971) description of P. meteori based on Kotthaus (1967). Dorsal-fin rays 12; anal-fin rays 16; pectoral-fin rays 15; Gill raker number 13–15. Body broad, tapering to relatively long caudal peduncle (appears shorter than P. matsubarai); post-temporal spine needlelike, about equal to one-fourth the eye diameter; dorsal spine short; abdominal keel scales smooth, not extended ventrally; first and third supra-abdominal photophores about even and raised above second; first supra-anal markedly lower than second, which is lower than third; jaws medium; in preservative broad, dark, dorsal bar reaches to midline followed by light stripe which reaches mid-dorsal line: ventral border of dorsal pigment raised considerably above supra-anal photophores; dark pigment spots present on midline.
Post-temporal spine simple, bearing no basal spines; lateral edge of post-temporal-supracleithrum smooth; keel scales with smooth ventral surfaces; supraanal photophores separate, usually raised well above anal group. Post-temporal spine short, its length less than one-fourth the diameter of orbit; anal photophore number 7 to 9 (occasionally 10); body robust, less than 1.9 times body depth; first supra-anal photophore markedly lower than second. Teeth present on posterior vomerine shaft; second supra-anal photophore lower than third; supra-abdominal photophores symmetrical, first not markedly raised above third. Gill rakers 13 to 15; light stripe behind dark pigment bar extends to mid-dorsal line; ventral border of dark dorsal pigment markedly raised above supra-anal photophores.
