(43) and P. maculinervis (44). Remarks and distribution . See also P. rhodanica . This taxon differs from the nearby occurring P. rhodanica by pronotum shape, tegmina shape and length, and spines of abdominal tergites, both in males and females. Actually, we believe that P. a z am i , P. rhodanica , P. hystrix , P. appula and P. willemsorum n. sp. constitute a group of related species, very probably of Balkanic origin. Measurements. see Table 1 . Biometric ratios lie in the group hystrix / flexuosa / maculinervis , but the ratio length of tegmina of males/length of tegmina of females is similar only to that of P. hystrix and P. rhodanica ( Figs 65–68 ). For the considerations reported above, we think that P. az a m i is not really related to P. hystrix and may be considered a valid species, well separated from the nearly cohabiting P. rhodanica .
