M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Israel: 1, Har Meron , 33°00'N, 35°25'E, 1110 m, forest, pitfall, 26.IV.2010, leg. Drees (cAss) GoogleMaps ; 9 exs., Golan Heights , Mas'ada, Ya'ar Odem R., 30°13'N, 35°45'E, 1015 m, 2.II.2007, leg. Assmann (cFel, cAss) GoogleMaps .

C o m m e n t: The previously known distribution of P. angulata ranged from Albania and Croatia across Greece to Turkey ( ASSING 2000, 2007c, 2009a). The above specimens represent the first records from Israel.

The aedeagus of this species, in particular the shape of the ventral process, and the coloration are subject to some intraspecific variation. In contrast to material seen from Greece and Turkey, most of the specimens from Israel have dark-brown legs.
