Type locality. Iran: Khuzestan, Gotvand. Syntypes: male, female ( MNCN).

Material examined. IRAN: Gotvend, 2♂, 1♀ (Syntypes) (leg. Escalera) ( MNCN).

Distribution. Known only from the type locality (see Remarks) ( Fig. 841 ).

Remarks. Almost all the specimens identified in the collections as P. gotvendicus especially after 1951, as well as records based on these materials in papers, are in fact P. opacus s.l. (see P. o. opacus and P. o. rectus above). This species is very different from P. opacus and placed in a different species group by the structure of male genitalia (see the key).

It is clear that the 3 syntypes were collected from the same location and no doubt that all of them are the same taxon, and consequently it is not necessary to designate a lectotype ( ICZN, Article 74.7.3).
