A few new (including African) species of the  areolatusgroup (e.g. Michalczyk & Kaczmarek 2006b, Degma et al.2008, Kaczmarek et al.2014b). Both Richters (1908)and Binda (1984) predate the taxonomic changes and failed to find eggs, essential for correct species identification. This, in conjunction with  P. areolatusbeing originally described from the Arctic, implies all African records should be treated with caution until relevant examples are re-examined or new African material is confirmed. 1671737429 [151,1155,1238,1260] 1400 36.666668 Pilato 1186 4.6 Akfadou Forest 53 54 1 Tizi Ouzou Province 1671737461 [151,1024,1300,1322] -23.866667 Inhambene Province 1254 35.383335 Inhambene 53 54 1 1671737450 [151,1339,1361,1383] 120 37.179447 Raf Raf 19 10.253056 53 54 1 Bizerte Governorate 1671737422 [151,1331,1392,1414] 67 36.89917 Gammarth 19 10.305278 53 54 1 Tunis Governorate 1671737447 [151,1386,1422,1444] 636 36.775 Beni 19 8.739722 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate 1671737480 [151,1386,1453,1475] 590 36.7975 Beni 19 8.873334 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate 1671737476 [151,1386,1484,1506] 561 36.766388 Beni 19 8.797778 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate 1671737462 [151,1385,1514,1536] 511 36.738888 Beni 19 8.728611 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate 1671737470 [151,1386,1545,1567] 765 36.736946 Beni 19 8.683056 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate 1671737465 [151,1385,1576,1598] 373 36.729168 Beni 19 8.736389 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate 1671737474 [151,1386,1606,1628] 742 36.72861 Beni 19 8.680556 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate 1671737472 [151,1386,1637,1659] 668 36.72222 Beni 19 8.682778 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate 1671737460 [151,1386,1668,1690] 474 36.721947 Beni 19 8.724999 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate 1671737477 [151,1386,1698,1720] 371 36.713333 Beni 19 8.724999 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate 1671737491 [151,1386,1729,1751] 462 36.702778 Beni 19 8.679444 53 54 1 Jendouba Governorate
