P. major sp. nov. is characterized by large body size, six inner labial sensilla papilliform, six outer labial sensilla and four cephalic sensilla setiform, eight subcephalic setae present, amphidial fovea cryptospiral, anterior pharynx region at the buccal cavity widened, posterior pharynx region with oval-shaped bulb, spicules curved with proximal portion enlarged, gubernaculum boat shaped, tail short and conical.
