Distribution: SE Honduras to SW Ecuador.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt) as P. gorgonae , Lower Risk (lc) as P. semispinosus .

Discussion: Placed in semispinosus group ( Patton, 1987). Formerly included in amphichoricus ; see Reig et al. (1980) who used the name centralis for animals assigned to semispinosus from N Venezuela. Gardner (1983 b) discussed the taxonomic history of this species and corrected the type locality. Karyotype has 2n=30 and FN=50-54 ( Gardner and Emmons, 1984; Patton and Gardner, 1972). Includes gorgonae based on lack of karyotypic difference between populations on Gorgonae Isl and mainland of Colombia (Gómez-Laverde et al., 1990).
