The remaining nine species are troglophiles:P. bispinosa Gertsch and P. evansi Gertschfrom Chiapas; P. bolivari Gertsch and P. mitchelliGertsch from Tamaulipas; P. elliotti Gertsch from SanLuis Potosi; P. maria Gertsch from Yucatan; P. speophila(Chamberlin and Ivie) from Campeche andYucatan; P. troglodyta Gertsch from Veracruz; andP. quieta Gertsl:h from Izabal, Guatemala.
