Remarks.

P. catarinense was found on rocky seepages, at 2200 m a.s.l., extending slightly it altitudinal occurrence. Environmental characterization: water temperature 27.6 °C; dissolved oxygen 7.0 mg.l-1; pH 6; slow flowing; vegetal coverage completely absent (shrub-herbaceous vegetation). The species was found in APASM (Minas Gerais State), extending the geographical records to northernmost. Low altitudinal specificity (IndVal: 0.17; p = 0.84).
