However, Soula (2008: 37)notes that the two specimens from French Guianaactually belong to another species, which he describes as  P. touroulti. Moore et al. (2017: 179)mention this action but, for reasons unknown to us, base their inclusion of French Guianain the distribution of  P. cribrataon these same two specimens. Because it is not known from which part of the state of Pará the only remaining known specimen of  P. cribratais, we consider it more likely that it originates from the larger part of the state south of the Amazon than from the smaller part north of it. From this it follows that the species is not known from the research area.
