Comments.
This
species was described by LINNAVUORI (1999) on the basis of male
holotype
from a western slope of
Deno Mts.
in the
Fars province
(
18.–19.viii.1976
,
Borumand
&
Pazuki
lgt., deposited in
National Museum
,
Prague
).
In
this single specimen only antennomere 1 was present.
The
new specimens allow for some additions to the original description.
Their
dark body colouration and colouration of antennae resembles
Ph. bavanus
sp. nov.
The
ocular index ranges between 1.12–1.17 (J) / 1.46 (
♀
).
Proportions
between the antennomeres are as 40: 84: 45: 40 (J) / 40: 81: 49:? (
♀
)
; antennomere 1 is 1.30–1.42 (J) / 1.47 (
♀
) times as long as the diatone and antennomere 2 (J
♀
) is 2.63–2.9 times as long as the diatone and 1.67–1.71 (J) / 1.62 (
♀
) times as long as the basal width of pronotum. The male genitalia are characteristic (see
Fig. 5A–H and LINNAVUORI
(1999)).
Collected at light in gardens and forests on mountain slopes and near small streams with
Populus
and
Salix
.
