Material examined.

Portugal, Faro: • Monchique, Ribeira de Seixe, Parque do Barranco dos Pisões , 37.333°N, 8.567°W, 480 m a.s.l., 23 May 2023, leg. Ekrem & Benitez-Bosco, 1 ♀ (sequenced) GoogleMaps .

Remarks.

The single examined female from Ribeira de Seixe matches the description of P. annularis , a species known from Portugal and Spain ( Lundblad 1956). The Portuguese specimen forms a unique BIN ( BOLD: AFX 2700), with the nearest neighboring BIN being BOLD: AEI 5748, which includes specimens of P. lata from Corsica. The p - distance between these two BINs was estimated at 12.36 %.

Distribution.

Iberian Peninsula. In Portugal previously reported from Beira Alta ( Lundblad 1956).
