Type locality. Morro Grande , state of Santa Catarina, Brazil ( Huber et al. 2018) .

Diagnosis and Description. Huber et al. (2018).

Distribution. Brazil: state of Santa Catarina ( Huber et al. 2018).

Color of live specimens. Huber et al. (2018) ( Fig. 28 View FIGURE 28 ).

Habitat. Streams ( Huber et al. 2018). This species builds burrows with small chimneys in the river margins. Burrows of P. pilicarpus can be identified as type 1a,b according to Horwitz and Richardson’s (1986) classification and the species can be considered a tertiary burrower based on Hobbs’ (1942) classification ( Ribeiro et al. 2020).
