C o m m e n t: The original description of P. konfuzius is based on thirteen type specimens from three localities in the Qinling Shan, Shaanxi ( WILLERS 2001b ). The specimens from one of the localities, at least five paratypes , are not conspecific with the holotype , but belong to P. agnatus . The record from the Taibai Shan is based on three females and consequently somewhat uncertain. PENG et al. (2015) reported additional localities from the Qinling Shan. LI & ZHOU (2007) erroneously reported the species also from Gansu and Sichuan ( PENG et al. 2015 ). Confirmed records are known only from Shaanxi ( Map 3 ).
