Taxonomy notes

the recently described mittermeieri, rylandsi, and pissinatti are considered synonyms of P. irrorata here tentatively following Serrano-Villavicencio et al., 2019; however, it should be noted that both the original description of these species and the paper used to subsume them under P. irrorata mainly use pelage coloration for species differentiation and that further studies are needed
