NOMEN DUBIUM
According to the curator at the Zoologisches Institut der Universität at Halle, the
type
of
P. tricalcaratus
was probably destroyed during or shortly after World War II. I found
one specimen
identified by Ulmer as
P. tricalcaratus
in the Museum für Naturkunde of HumboldtUniversität,
Berlin
, but it consists only of a head, anterior thorax, and one forewing, and is quite inadequate for identifying the species. The illustration in the original description included only the wings, and the description itself is too general for species discrimination.
