Originally described as a subspecies of P. alpinum , Nobile later raised P . gregoriense to species status (1995). As mentioned above for Stelis leucostoma , Nobile (1995) draws parallels between P. gregoriense , P. leucostoma and P . lituratum . We examined four specimens of this taxon identified by Nobile (including one of his paratypes ) and a photograph of the holotype , plus two other female specimens from Sicily . These specimens agree with our concept of P. stigmaticorne .
