Distribution. BRAZIL (Mato Grosso).

Comments. The male imago of P. pearljam can be readily distinguished from the other species of the genus, except for P. takari sp. nov., by the long and ventrally curved medial projection of the styliger plate and the membranous nature of the telopenis. For the difference between P. pearljam and P. takari sp. nov., see the discussion below. The nymph is distinguished based on the absence of submarginal denticles on the tarsal claw and apical projection on gills.
