REMARKS

Recently Seifert (2016) divided the hyper-diverse species P. pallidula ( Nylander, 1849) into four species. One of them, P. cicatricosa Stitz, 1917 has a North African distribution but other tree species: P. pallidula , P. balcanica Seifert, 2016 and P. koshewnikovi Ruzsky, 1905 have an Eurasian distribution. Since there exists no morphological differences between species of the P. pallidula complex, except for NUMOBAT (numeric morphology-based alpha-taxonomy), we gave our specimens as P. cf. pallidula at the moment.
