Description.
See

Material examined.
Holotype.
Remarks.
This subspecies is known only from the
type
specimen which is similar to
P. martinae martinae
by the general appearance and the male cercus tapered apically. Interestingly, the distribution of this subspecies is isolated from that of the nominate subspecies and the dominant species in its
type
locality is
P. inflatus
.
Heller (2004)
considered
P. inflatus
and
P. martinae
as sister species and diagnosed three forms by differences in male cerci. However, male cerci are more similar
in
P. inflatus
and
P. martinae martinae
while more different in
P. martinae tlos
.
At present song data are not available and female is not known in
P. martinae tlos
in order to clarify the systematic uncertainties. This subspecies may represent a distinct species, but an appropriate decision requires obtaining further data.
