Remark. The type of P. dohrni was originally deposited in Dohrn's collection (Stettiner Zoologisches Museum in Szczecin, Poland) ( Candèze 1881). Part of the material in that museum was destroyed during World War II, and the remaining part was later moved to the MIIZ, Warsaw, Poland. A recent search for the types of Tetralobinae in the MIIZ collection was unsuccessful (T. Huflejt, pers. com.).
