Remarks. Sanborn (2018) recently reviewed the status of the species including new synonymies. The species was mistakenly listed as being part of the cicada fauna of Trinidad and Tobago in Sanborn (2013). The original reference does not list P. invaria as inhabiting Trinidad and Tobago and the reference to the islands was mistakenly added during compilation of the catalogue. There are no known references to the species from the islands and it is removed from the fauna here.

Distribution. The species has been recorded from the Antilles, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, French Antilles, French Guiana, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Peru, St. Vincent, and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2014; 2018; 2020b).
