Remarks.
Strasser (1966)
described
P. jawlowskii
on the basis of a single male collected from the surroundings of Rila Monastery. Later
Strasser (1973)
reported the species from the vicinity of
Satovcha village
,
Western
Rhodopi Mts
. The present record from the foothills of Maleshevska planina Mt. is the second one from Bulgaria after the species’ original description.
P. jawlowskii
is also known from southeastern FYR Macedonia (
Mršić 1993
).
The gonopod structure of the two examined males differs slightly from Strasser’s original drawings: the tip of the tibiotarsus is less strongly bent and the endomerit appears somewhat shorter.
