Identification requires electron microscopy.
The main characteristics of P. obtusa are the asymmetric valve and the 2 rows of poroids. P. obtusa is phylogenetically and morphologically closely related to P. seriata and P. australis, two other species with asymmetric valves. The main differences are the number of poroid rows in the striae, poroid density, and valve width.

P. obtusa: 2 rows - 6-8 poroids/µm - 2.9-5.0µm
P. seriata:: (2)-4 rows - 6-9 poroids/µm - 4.6-8.0µm
P. australis:: 2 rows - 4-5 poroids/µm - 6.5-8.0µm

Verified sequences of ITS rDNA (ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2) are:
P. obtusa (DQ062667); P. seriata (DQ062663); P. australis (DQ062661) [details]
