Description
The carapace of P. steueri appears subovate in lateral view. It is light green with four dark green transverse stripes. The length ranges from 0.55 to 0.68 mm, with females being slightly larger than males.
The second antennae carry swimming setae that slightly extend beyond the tips of the terminal claws.[1]

gollark: How ditherous!
