The Protection from Evil spell differs from the Protection from Good / Law / Chaos spells in they way they deal with summoned creatures. Here is the relevant text (from the SRD):
Protection from Evil
Third, the spell prevents bodily contact by summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creature. Good summoned creatures are immune to this effect.
Protection from Good
This spell functions like protection from evil, except [...] good summoned creatures cannot touch the subject.
Protection from Law
This spell functions like protection from evil, except [..] lawful summoned creatures cannot touch the subject.
Note that Protection from Evil protects against Neutral and Evil summoned creatures, but Protection from Good / Law / Chaos do not protect against Neutral summoned creatures. There is nothing in the PHB errata reagarding this, so is it intentional or an overlooked error, and which is correct?Protection from Chaos
This spell functions like protection from evil, except [...] chaotic summoned creatures cannot touch the subject.
