In light of the results by
Kobayashi (1998)
,
P. crassinervis
and
P. choreus
both may be synonyms of a seasonally variable
P. culiciformis
, with
P. c h o re u s
as a shortheeled summer form. Another character used (e.g. by
Roback 1971
and
Pinder 1978
) to distinguish
P. culiciformis
and
P. c h o re u s
the pigmentation of the abdominal tergites was not discussed by
Kobayashi (1998)
, but is possibly temperaturedependent as well, and thus may not be informative either.
