Remarks.
The Turkish specimens of
P. annulitarsis
have a yellow postpedicel and abdomen and is identified in the key by
Grootaert & Chvála (1992)
as
P. villeneuvi
(
Becker, 1910
)
. The latter species was redescribed by
Grootaert & Chvála (1992)
on the basis of a female
holotype
from
Corsica
. Males remain unknown and therefore it is impossible to formally synonymize both species unless additional material from the
type
locality, including males are collected. Turkish specimens agree in all details with the original description of
P. anulitarsis
(Kovalev 1978)
(including details of the male genitalia, midtibial spur, etc.) except size, colour of abdomen and shape and colour of antenna. These are the first records for
Turkey
.
For clarity, all differences between specimens from
France
and
Turkey
, redescription of
P. villeneuvi
by
Grootaert & Chvála (1992)
and the original description (Kovalev 1978) of
P. anulitarsis
are summarized in
Table 1
