Remarks

• Systematics: Mamet (1941) could not locate the type material, and strongly indicated that this species may be identical with P. grabhami. Ben-Dov (1993), for the sake of stability, retained P. carieri as an unrecognizable species, rather than reducing the established and regognized P. grabhami as a junior synonym.
• Biology: Live subterraneously on roots of the host plant.
