  • Deeper black above than its relative P. henlei1
  • Fewer and larger yellowish-white spots on the upper side than P. albimaculata1
  • Underparts are mostly brownish-dusky1
  • Females grow larger than males1

Gantsi e tlhakanngwa le: It is closely related to P. henlei from the Tocantins River basin and P. albimaculata from the Tapajós River basin, and they look similar. P. henlei has a large white centre on its underparts, while this species has mostly brownish-dusky underparts. P. albimaculata has more spots above, and they are smaller than the spots on this species.1
