Comments: This species was a junior synonym of the mediterranean large distributed sister species P. coarctata , until Csősz and Seifert (2003) raised it to species level. They indicated the distribution of the species as Austria, Bulgaria, Crotia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Serbia, Spain and Switzerland ( Borowiec, 2014). After this record, its distribution enlarges almost its sister species. Some records came from North Africa ( Taheri and Reyes-López, 2015) and Greece ( Bračko et al., 2016). Now with this study the distribution of the species continues to enlarge towards east.
