Remarks.

Soula’s (2009) original description referred to " P. yungasensis n. ssp.". In the index, key to species, and accompanying figures, P. yungasensis was treated as a species. We treat the "spp. n." as a lapsus and consider P. yungasensis to have been proposed as a species ( Moore and Jameson 2013).
