Remarks.
KOCH (1962)
mentioned, that the aedeagus of
P. amplipennis
is almost identical with that of
Rhomaleus scauroides
Chatanay, 1915
, but did not describe or figure it. Unfortunately, the aedegus is missing in the
holotype
. The antennae are broken in the
holotype
but described and figured by the author.
