Distribution. Occurs in the Dry Chaco (Alto Paraguay, Boquerón) and Humid Chaco ecoregions (Central, Concepción, Ñeembucú and Presidente Hayes) ( Sawada & Wiesner 2002).
Comments. Previously treated as a subgenus of Pentacomia , Poecilochila was elevated to a separate genus in a taxonomic revision by Moravec (2018) that also saw this species combined with Poecilochila rhytidopteroides . The revision also states that this species may be synonymous with Poecilochila lacordairei but it is currently treated separately until more specimens are examined.
