Brasilia. Unspecified number of ♀.
Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription. No specimens found in the MHNG. The NHMW contains one ♀ (Inventory number 3296, Acquisition number 1866.I.137b). According to the Acquisition Register,
P. decolor
and
P. nattereri
were described from lot 137 which comprised only two specimens; this specimen is therefore the holotype. The generic placement is uncertain and the genus
Leptodesmus
remains poorly defined (
Hoffman, 2012
).
