Comparisons. P. peruvianus differs from P. furvus by a maximum snout-vent length of 31 mm, nine lamellae beneath fourth toe, and 79-90 granules and scales around midbody rather than a maximum snout-vent length of 45 mm, 14 or more fourth toe lamellae, and 100 or more granules around midbody; from P. barbouri by having 79 or more granules and scales around midbody and dorsal squamation of tiny granules, rather than 60 or less scales around midbody and dorsal squamation of large flat, imbricate scales; from P. amazonicus, P. guianensis, and P. lunulatus by having nine fourth toe lamellae of which the third distal one (counted from the nail sheath) is not enlarged nor thickened, and no enlarged basal lamella on first toe; rather than six fourth toe lamellae, of which the third distal one is enlarged and thickened, and presence of much enlarged basal lamella on first toe (Huey & Dixon 1970).
