Issue
Originally decribed as a subspecies of P. cameronensis, P. abbreviata is questionably distinct, and more reliable diagnostic characters are needed to verify its status (Ref. 81636).

Africa: Kouilou (Ref. 81636) and Nyanga (Ref. 80297) basins (Republic of Congo), Ogooué (Gabon) (Ref. 81636), and rivers Guoro (Equatorial Guinea) (Ref. 68431) and Mvila (Cameroon) (Ref. 81636) in the Ntem basin. Report from the Lualaba (upper Congo basin) in Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ref. 89136) questionable as species is considered endemic to Lower Guinea (Ref. 81636).
