Having before me, besides the type (from Belize), six adult males from Guatemala, I am unable to detect 

 any differences of coloration distinguishing this species from P. testacea, other than those given in the above 

 synopsis. Only one specimen is as dull colored as the type, while two are almost identical in general colora- 

 tion with a typical adult male of P. testacea from Veragua.
