The species was described in the same publication as
P. kuanduensis
. It was based on a single male from Kuvango,
Angola
. The only diagnostic character Laboissière mentioned is the larger punctuation of the pronotum. The material should be in the Museum in Coimbra,
Portugal
. During a visit of that collection in
March 2010
the
type
specimen could not be found. Since the description of both species indicate a high overlap external characters and the differentiation based on a relatively weak structure, the species most likely belong to
Pimentelia
.
