Remarks.

According to Soula (2008), the type series of H. cribrata included two, distinct species: the nominate species ( H. cribrata ) and a cryptic species that Soula referred to as P. touroulti . Soula compared P. touroulti with P. cribrata and P. werneri (see image in Soula 2008: 38). Soula assigned Ohaus’s two paralectotypes of H. cribrata with the new species P. touroulti ( Soula 2008: 38, image in middle), and he apparently assigned the lectotype of P. cribrata with the paramere form on the left ( Soula 2008: 38, image on left).
