Paralectotype.
Turkmenistan: “Sumbar”, 1 ♂, leg. O. Herz [ZISP] (Fig. 1E-H View Figure 1 ).
Distribution.
Israel, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China ( van der Vecht and Fischer 1972; Kurzenko 1977; Oehlke 2012).
Remarks.
This species is very variable in coloration. Females from Southern Kazakhstan (Fig. 2A, B View Figure 2 ) differ from the typical form (Fig. 1A, B, D View Figure 1 ) by the absence of the spot on the dorsal mesepisternum and a completely black clypeus while females from Southeastern Kazakhstan (Fig. 2C, D View Figure 2 ) differ from the typical form by a completely yellow clypeus. Females from Eastern Kazakhstan ( P. herzi kozlovi , Fig. 2E, F View Figure 2 ) differ from all other forms by an orange-yellow pattern instead of a pure yellow. No differences were found in the male genitalia between specimens from Turkmenistan and Southern Kazakhstan while males of the form from Eastern Kazakhstan were not examined, nor were males of P. herzi enslini . Both subspecies are probably conspecific with P. herzi but need further study.
