Hemelytroblatta ebneri : Grandcolas 1994a: 157.

Male characters. Wings: tegmina with subcosta lobe.—Femur armament: all femora without apical spine.—Tibia armament: [1.8.0][7.7.2][11.7.5], dorsal spines variously distributed. According to Chopard (1929) the armament of the tibiae should be similar as in P. africana , which, however, has only 10 spines on the dorsal surface of the hindleg; the type and the other male from the locus typicus have 11 spines.—Tarsal arolia: present.—Subgenital plate: with styli, Fig. 9A .—Right phallomere: Fig. 9B .

Female: Chopard 1929, 305.

Material studied. Type, 1♂, Asia minor, Lyc. Taurus, Makri. (M. Wien) .— Other material: 1♂, same data as type (prep.: Bo 1394) (M. Wien). — 1♂, Türkei, Demre, 31.VII.[19]85, light, N. Lodos don. (prep.: Bo 1333) (det. K.Harz). ( ZSM) .
