Several specimens were sent to Dr. Mockford, who confirmed that it's a new species, never before seen, and that it's very close to P. hyalinus and P. hilli.

All known specimens of the new species are from a single location and were found on shaded, brick walls (1970s construction) on which there was some lichen or algae growth [update: it was probably mold. They feed on mold]. It is unknown what, if any, habitat it might use in less urban areas, but maybe searching cave walls or rock outcrops would be productive.
