Material examined: Davraz Mountain-Savköy district , 1200 m, 01.vi.2013, 1♂, 1♀ .
General distribution: Middle, West, and South Europe, Northwest Africa, Macaronesia. It is treated as a European SW Palearctic element ( Gruev, 2006; Löbl and Smetana, 2010).
Habitat information: The two specimens were collected by sweep-net from a moist area near a streamside. Nasturtium officinale R.Br. ( Brassicaceae ) is mentioned as its host plant in the literature ( Čížek and Doguet, 2008).
Remarks: It is dark-blue with yellowish legs and darkened hind femora. Specimens are about 2.8 mm in length; they are morphologically similar to Ps. napi , but can be distinguished easily by the shape of the female spermatheca ( Figure 4).
