Introduction
Previously referred to as P. caputspinulae (Reeve, 1852) however the name P. servilis (Shuttleworth 1852) was published earlier and has priority. Also thought to be widespread in eastern Australia however Stanisic et al. (2017) have found most of these records to be based on species previously synonymised with P. caputspinulae. Apparently also now widespread in many parts of the world but only reliably known from Hobart, TAS in Australia.
