Remark: <i>P. vittata</i> is a very small species.  The type is an aquarium specimen said to be from Óbidos on the lower Amazon River and not far away C. Ternetz collected a specimen near Santarém in 1925.  However more recent collections have been limited to far western localities in Bolivia, Brazil and Peru.  Like <i>P. spilota</i> it has black spots across the body.  However there only three and these are larger and almost black. Eschmeyer, 1998:1770; Ortega and Vari, 1986:11.
