Remarks.

Transpalaearctic species, also occurring in West Greenland (WSC 2023). It is the first record of P. parallela in the Caucasus. Males of P. parallela are distinguished from those of co-occurring in the Caucasus P. crassipes Tanasevitch, 1987 by its flat, 1/2 as high as long cephalic lobe of the carapace (round and high in P. crassipes) and the absence of long frontal outgrowth on the tegulum (present in P. crassipes). Another species, P. odontophora ( Kulczyński, 1895), similar to P. parallela, can be distinguished by the presence of a rounded projection in the proximal part of the cymbium (absent in P. parallela) (Tanasevitch 1990). A male from Gori resembles P. parallela but has a rounded projection, suggesting P. odontophora might be a junior synonym of P. parallela . Further examination of the holotype specimen and local specimens is needed to confirm this.
