V Oued Sebou river , near El Menzel 33°51’N 4°39’W P. Prudek leg/, OLML . Female. Paratype *. Figs 126 . Measurements: body length = 12 mm . Flagellum reddish underside, brown upperside. Very similar to smaller specimen of Ps. villosa , from which is known by different labrum, no gradulus along fore border of Sc 1 , es 3 shagreened without any micro p , posterior P with strongly shagreened mR and sparse medium p , well detectable gradulus worn out in the middle on 2 nd sternum. Areola delimited by weak lateral ridges; the median one does not get posterior border. Variability. Only about size, from 11 to 12.5 and shape of areola. Male. Holotype . Figs 127-133 . Measurements: body length = 9.5 mm . Habitus and coloration like Ps. villosa . Vertical frontal ridge and omaulus well expressed. Head in dorsal aspect: ratio LA / L about 1,8 (vs 2.1). Different shape of labrum. N 1 disk with angled fore border, without ridge. Horizontal P without any ridge and expressed areola and completely irregualrly sculptured; only two stumps of lamellar ridge along its posterior border with buttressing ridges from them on posterior surface; the latter severed from lateral surface by complete lamellar ridge. Posterior surface with a stout vertical ridge and roughly shagreened surface. High graduli on 1 st , 2 nd terga and 2 nd sternum. Arched tuberculi on 5 th sternum with impunctate inner area. Genitalia like fig. Genae bipunctate. Swollen surface of es 2 with iS up to twice diametre of p , sparsely bipunctate. Variability. Males range in size from 7.0 to 11 mm ; some specimen show one/two more or less extended rough stump of longitudinal ridge, without delimiting a defined areola; few specimens show both complete lateral ridges of areola. Note. Horizontal P is very similar to Ps. beckeri from which is very known because of shape of head, Pam , Sc 2 , outline of graduli of terga in dorsal aspect, profile of tuberculum on 5 th sternum in lateral aspect, genitalia. Its good autapomorphies are the shape of the head in dorsal aspect and genitalia. Ecology. Unknown Distribution. Morocco , Algeria (probably the whole Palaearctic Northern Africa) and Sardinia. The last record needs to be confirmed by more specimens.
