Remarks. The holotype male of P. pulchra has a habitus and palpal morphology ( Figs. 13–17 View Figures 13–17 ) that is entirely congruent with that of P. chapoda , which was recently illustrated by Pett, Rubio & Stolar (2021). Therefore, we propose P. pulchra as a junior synonym of P. chapoda syn. nov. Non-type specimens collected, or otherwise examined, by MFN also confirm the presence of P. chapoda in Argentina, representing a new country record for this taxon.

Distribution. Argentina (new record), Brazil and Paraguay ( Fig. 19 View Figure 19 ).
