Distribution. Known from Konya, Karaman provinces, mainly southern edge of Central Anatolia, between Saray Dağı and Sertavul Pass (Fig. 840).

Remarks. According to Ramme (1951: 284) the coloration brighter in male [Holotype], completely decolorised and also shrunk in female [Allotype] presumably by the treatment with alcohol. Therefore the hind tibia in both sexes are seen pale brownish, but its natural coloration is black as in all other specimens listed above including the Tatköy population, where is very close (only several kms.) to the type locality Saray Dağı. Ramme identified a female (NMW) from the type locality as P. fieberi, probably before his decision on the new species, P. brevipes .
