Remarks. The description of the aedeagus provided by DeLong & Freytag (1972) does not mention processes on the base, which can be confirmed in the illustrations ( DeLong & Freytag 1972: 271, figs 149, 150). Furthermore, the aedeagus and style of P. ocellata are similar to those of other species placed in Nihilana in the same study, as for example, P. rixa DeLong & Freytag, 1972 , P. scina DeLong & Freytag, 1972 , and P. pressa DeLong & Freytag, 1972 .
