Material examined: 1♂, AP, Porto Platón, 05-Aug-1971, MCNZ; 2♂, RJ, Rio de Janeiro, Corcovado, Sep-1958, Alvarenga col., MNRJ; 2 specimens, SP, Sumaré, Jul-1960, MNRJ .

Distribution: Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Colombia, Brazil (AP new rec., PA, RJ new rec., SP new rec.), Peru.

Remarks: As in P. moestus the female forms are not easily recognizable, the male form presents three primary setigerous punctures on each mandibular plate and just one on the costal margin (Fig. 11D). This combination of characters is not unique in the subgenus, but it is for the species reported in Brazil.
