Bates (1892)
described
P
.
vitticollis
based on a single specimen from
Mexico
(
Guerrero
).
Bezark (2019)
recorded the species from the Mexican state of
Oaxaca
.
Giesbert (1993)
provided a key to species of the genus, and separated
P
.
vitticollis
as follows: “Pronotum black, with a yellowish-grey pubescent vitta on each side of disk. Antennae of male about as long as body. Length
8.5 mm
.
Guerrero
,
Mexico
,” leading to
P
.
vitticollis
; “Pronotum red, orange, or bicolored (rarely black), without pubescent vittae. Antennae of males distinctly shorter than body,” leading to the other species of the genus. However, the pronotum in
P
.
vitticollis
can be entirely black (
Fig. 11
) or bicolored, with a large central area reddish (
Fig. 12–13
). Even so, the key is still helpful because
P
.
vitticollis
is the only species of the genus with distinct lateral pubescent bands on the pronotum. The distal ventrites also can be entirely black, orangish, or dark reddish-brown.
