I described a specimen from Sri Lanka ( PAPP 1991 a: 103), which may indeed belong to this species, but I cannot re-check its identity during the present study. It is, however, even more likely, that the above specimen is conspecific with the type specimen from Mt Banahao (Luzon, Philippines). In the key below it is far from P. nigrotibiata ( DUDA), but I think they are in a closer relationship .
