REMARK

Specimen fitting the description of P. subaptera n. stat. by its face coloration (Desutter-Grandcolas 1992b, fig. 43), the presence of very short lobe-like FWs, the relative size of ovipositor and FIII (but ovipositor longer, see Table 16 ) and the shape of copulatory papilla (compare Fig. 23 D-F and Desutter-Grandcolas 1992b, figure 46). Its size extends the variation of the species, up to now known by type locality only.

MEASUREMENTS (IN MM). — See Table 16 .
