Distribution: ARGENTINA (Berg 1879). BOLIVIA (Moreira et al. 2011). BRAZIL (Melo & Nieser 2004): Maranhão *, Minas Gerais (Melo & Nieser 2004) (Fig. 13). COLOMBIA (Morales-Castaño & Molano-Rendón 2008).
Comments: The subspecies P. b. nigriculus shares some morphological characteristics with P. poeyi, such as size and the coloration of the scutellum and hemelytra (Fig. 4); however, they differ in the shape of the phallosoma since P. poeyi presents the right lateral margin widened (Fig. 7J) (Rodrigues et al., pers. comm.). It is not possible to differentiate between the females of these two species based on external morphology and genitalia because both have the third abdominal sternum with a low median carina (Fig. 8A), the female subgenital plate posterior margin is shallowly concave medially (Figs. 9A, D), abdominal tergum VIII is trapezoidal with the distal portion almost flat (Figs. 10A, D), and valvulae 1 are entirely dentate along the dorsal and lateral margins (Figs. 11A, D).
