Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org.
Description from Südkamp 2017, p. 111: " Cup small, low and cone-shaped. The long and slender, non-pinnulated arms divide three to four times isotomously above the sixth to ninth primibrach in variable positions. The anal sack is slender and elongate and composed of several vertical rows of plicate plates. The stem is round with pentangular proximal elements."
Of the 5 species described, P. zeaeformis has a relatively truncated cup. The anal sack has the appearance of a cob of maize (long and mostly curved).
