Diagnosis: Males of P. otus are easily recognized by the large trifid prong on the proximal part of the tegulum. Females are recognized by the epigyne with frontal recurved depression, and oblong structures with two longitudinal stripes near posterior margin.

Etymology: The species name is a noun in apposition; Otus is another giant from Greek mythology who wanted to storm Mount Olympos together with his brother Ephialtes.
