COMMENTS: Löbl (1992: 504, 597) designated the lectotype and gave the diagnostic characters of the species, including illustrations of its aedeagus in dorsal view. The lacking illustration of the aedeagus in lateral view and details of the internal sac are given here (Fig. 39, 40). A female reported from Bhutan (see Löbl, 1984a: 62) and housed in NHMB is similar to P. almoranum but cannot be reliably identified. Other distributional data are in Löbl (1969: 324, 1984a: 62, 1986: 343, 1992: 504, and 2005: 180).
