Males differ from all Asian species by the large (larger than subterminal), claw-like terminal apophysis with a pointed tip directed antero-prolaterally ( vs . square-shaped, shorter or as long as subterminal), and the long, broad retroventral apophysis with a pointed tip ( vs . either abrupt or spine-like, or not tapering). In comparison to the other species treated here, it has the shortest palpal tibia with a length/width ratio of ca. 1.8. Females differ from congeners by having square-shaped endogynal plates ( Ep ) ( vs . lacking in most of the species, or subtriangular in P. thracia Komnenov & Chatzaki, 2016 ). Description. See Wiehle (1967) and Grimm (1986) . Distribution. Central Europe to Central Asia ( WSC 2020 ). Record from the North Khorasan Province is the easternmost in the entire range. Newly recorded from Iran ( Fig. 14 ).
