Material examined. Muğla prov.: 2♂, 2♀, 13 km NE of Muğla, pine wood + pasture, 37°15′N, 28°30′E, 1100– 1300 m, Barták, Kubík, 2–3.v.2016 ( CULSP). GoogleMaps

Remarks. Specimens from Turkey slightly differ from the original description of P. riojaensis in smaller size (wing length 2.2 mm), left epandrial lamella without dorsal outgrowth and right surstylus broadly ovate. However, in CULSP collection there are other specimens of probably the same species (from Cyprus) also without dorsal outgrowth on left epandrial lamella but slightly larger (wing length 2.5 mm) and with elongate right surstylus, one of them with all femora brownish yellow. Spine-like ventral setae on hind femora (mentioned in original description of P. riojaensis ) are present in some specimens, but absent in other ones (without correlations with characters of genitalia). Therefore, we consider all specimens conspecific and characters are variable. This is the first record for Turkey.
