The new species appears morphologically similar to P. serrifer (Stimpson, 1860), one of the most common representatives of Palaemon Weber, 1795 in Japanese waters, but the short carpus of the second pereopod and the different live colouration readily differentiate the new species from the latter.

The two new species are phylogenetically and morphologically allied to the wynadensis clade and can be distinguished from other species of the wynadensis clade and each other by a combination of nonoverlapping morphological characters including body size, homogeneous dorsal pholidosis, the number of femoral pores and poreless scales separating these series, the number of ventral scales across the midbody and longitudinal scales from mental to cloaca, the number of dorsal granules around the body; and an uncorrected pairwise ND2 sequence divergence of 8.2–22.9 % (16S 4.2–12.2 %) from all other members in the clade. These are the first members of the wynadensis clade known from south of the Palghat Gap apart from C. bireticulata, a putative junior synonym of C. sisparensis that is likely to be distinct owing to morphological differences and geographic distance.

Ixodes (Filippoviella) ghilarovi Filippova & Panova, 1988 is found in the Caucasus region on rodents and shrews. The type species of this new subgenus is Ixodes trianguliceps. The major morphological differences allowing discrimination of the two species of Filippoviella n. subgen from members of the subgenus Exopalpiger are the shape of the idiosoma, shape of the basis capituli, development of palpal segment I, the suture between palpal segments II and III, development of syncoxae and chaetotaxy.
