C o m m e n t: The known distribution of this species is confined to North Spain and ranges from the western Pyrenees across all of the Cordillera Cantabrica eastwards to Asturias. A comparison of the material from Asturias with that from localities in the western Cordillera Cantabrica revealed that the specimens from Asturias are on average slightly larger and have slightly darker legs and antennae, but the aedeagus is practically identical. The aedeagus of a male from Picos de Europa is illustrated in Fig. 14 View Figs 1-15 , that of a male from Asturias in Fig. 15 View Figs 1-15 . Hence, the previously established synonymy of P. umbratilis ERICHSON with P. brachyptera is confirmed.
