Material examined.

Montserrat: 1 ♀, Woodlands, Riverside House, 8-10 January 2002, yellow pan traps, K. Marske & K. Puliafico (MTEC).

Remarks.

The female specimen differs from those of P. megalocerus in having the pleuron and abdominal tergites metallic green or blue. This species seems most similar to males of P. pavo (Aldrich) from St. Vincent (the female is unknown) but cannot be confidently assigned to species.
