Dear Erwin,
I think this is P. zeylanica but I am afraid the angle of the photo makes its difficult to be sure. I am not sure of the tubercle and ridge pattern in the middle part of the dorsum behind the rhinophores and so don't have a good idea of the pattern which Brunckhorst considered very important.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
