| Description | Based on a study of type material, the taxonomic status of the six species described by J.C.H. de Meijere is revised. The validity of four nominal taxa is confirmed, P. albitarsis is a synonym of P. quadrifasciatus and P. rectinervis is interpreted as a new synonym of P. vulpianus. Lectotypes are designated for four species and the female of P. kertészi is described for the first time. Relationships of the species examined are discussed. |
