Remarks. Stshelkanovtzev (1916: 4) described this species after 2 males and 6 females (syntypes). One male and one female in the ZIN are labelled as “typus” and 2 females as “paratypus”. A type designation has not been published yet. The only male in the ZIN is designated as lectotype here.

The specimens from Erzurum, Tortum identified by Demirsoy (1973: 426, 1977: 82) as a new form of P. rubripes subrubrata probably belong to this species according to the charactes given by him.
