Remarks.

Two male specimens labeled as paratypes of P. simoensi Soula are considered invalid paratypes because their localities are not reported in Soula (2009). These specimens have paratype labels from 2008. It is likely that these specimens were accidentally omitted from publication ( Soula 2009).
