REMARKS

Both species, P.dentata and P. dentatiformis , were not recorded from French Guiana before, which renders this the first record of this genus for this part of South America, awaiting the discovery of male specimens that will allow an unequivocal species identification. This specimen has the dorsocentral setae arranged 0 + 2 (no presutural versus two postsutural dorsocentral setae), which excludes P. punctulata Ozerov, 2004 (with dorsocentral setae arranged 0 +1). The wing is not spotted at apex, which renders it either P. dentata or P. dentatiformis (both feature a wing without an apical spot). To differentiate between the two species, it is necessary to check male features.

New to French Guiana.
