Comment:   The paravertebral skin ridges do not diverge before the urostyle, and there is no pair of short skin ridges between the vertebral and paravertebral skin ridges. There are no longitudinal skin ridges on the tibia that is typical of P. guibei. The vertebral skin ridges do not extend onto the snout, ruling out P. taenioscelis.
