Remarks.

There is no mention of a paratype series of P. ulianai in Soula (2010a). The paratype labels on these specimens are of a different style than the type labels on the holotype and allotype specimens. It is likely that these paratype labels were added after the publication of the name and are thus invalid paratypes.
