Remark
: Though presenting the same coloration as the above listed female of
P. maurus
its other characters’ combination does neither match this nor any other known species (
Coscarón, 1997
). It shares with
P. areatus
Miller, 1950
and
P. aurigans
Distant, 1902
having the ocelli on a tubercle and very similar male genitalia. However, the parameres of
P. aurigans
are hairless (in
P.
sp. and
P. areatus
hairy), while the coloration of the hemelytra in
P. areatus
differs from the present specimen.
