Notes.
Although the
type
locality and both male and female characters are given in the original description, there is no indication about how many specimens were examined by
Rambousek (1925)
. Of them, the male individual from
NMPC
is the
lectotype
hereby designated because it is in better condition. All the specimens here studied agree with the original description.
Comments.
Arguments supporting the transfer of
P. hornaditanus
to
Gabrius
