Taxonomic notes. Speight (2020) recognized the problems associated with recognition of Psilota anthracina based on male genitalia features, because of the differences in the figures given by Smit & Zeegers (2005) and Smit & Vujić (2008). In order to resolve this confusion, we studied available European material, including specimens from the Balkan Peninsula, and particularly checked original specimens whose drawings were presented in the two above mentioned publications referred to. After detailed analysis, we concluded that all specimens belong to Psilota anthracina , and that the main reason for the differences in these drawings was a different angle of observation and additionally a slightly aberrant epandrium in the Montenegro specimen figured by Smit & Vujić (2008).
