On Icelandic list, we only have tarsatus from this genus...
Presuming this must therefore be P.tarsatus, but would like to know what´s diagnostic if anyone can share.

It seems at least to conform to Bill Dean's comments on iNaturalist on other observations :

"Separated golf club yellow markings. The narrow angle at the meeting of the eyes on the frons is a feature for tarsatus."

"Eyes hairy; hind legs mostly very dark; markings on tergite 2 very widely spaced; thorax very dark with two longitudinal grey stripes;"
