After having described P. zoque (Moctezuma & Halffter 2017), the following paratypes were deposited by us in additional collections: CEMT: 5 ♂♂, 5 ♀♀; CDC: 5 ♂♂, 5 ♀♀; CMNC: 1 ♂, 1 ♀; CPFA: 6 ♂♂, 6 ♀♀; UVGC: 1 ♂, 1 ♀. These paratypes were previously housed at VMC (see the full list of paratypes in Moctezuma & Halffter 2017).
