Holotype: Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia ( ANSP) 19123

Type Locality: Two Lick Hills, Indiana County, Pennsylvania.

Remarks: This species corresponds to the northern wehrlei in our analyses and that of Kuchta et al. (2018). It ranges from West Virginia into Pennsylvania and New York and includes the type locality for P. wehrlei . Our study does not address the status of the enigmatic “populations 10–12” described in Kuchta et al. (2018), which may belong to this species or P. punctatus .
