Comment
: The previously known distribution of
P. lugens
was confined to the West Palaearctic region (including Middle Asia) (
MARUYAMA 2006
). The above specimens represent the first record from the East Palaearctic region east of Middle Asia and considerably expand the range eastwards. The median lobe of the aedeagus of the material from
Gansu
is illustrated in
Figs 48–49
.
