Notes.
Although a male is explicitly mentioned in the original description, there is no indication that only one specimen was examined by
Bernhauer (1921)
. The two specimens listed above agree with the original description by
Bernhauer (1921)
and considered to have been
syntypes
prior to the present
lectotype
designation.
Comments.
Arguments supporting the transfer of
P. jujuyensis
to
Gabrius
