Remarks

This species was described from at least three males. Three syntypes were located, of which one is designated a lectotype. Macek (2002) synonymized this species with P. brachypterus without seeing the type. The lectotype belongs to P. brachypterus following the interpretation of this species by Nixon (1980) and Macek (2002), so Macek’s synonymy is confirmed. The lectotype is designated to stabilise the application of the name and its synonymy. The lectotype is mounted on a card and is entire.
