Comments

Wilson (2003) discussed character variation and synonymy in the widespread species P. radoszkowskii HNS (a complete list of synonymy is not presented here). The species P. medialis HNS is well within the range of variation for P. radoszkowskii HNS in Costa Rica, and there is no evidence of discrete sympatric forms.
