Type locality. Turkey: Erzurum, Oltu. Lectotype: male (ZIN), here designated.

Material examined. TURKEY: Kaukasus, [Erzurum], Olty [ Oltu ], 1♂ (Lectotype), 3♀ (Paralectotypes) (leg. E. Koenig) ( ZIN) ; Erzurum, Tortum, Uzundere , 13.7.1974, 1♂, 5♀ (leg. H. Özbek) ( EMET) ; Erzurum, Derekapı- Tortum , 9.6.1974, 5♀ (leg. H. Özbek) ( EMET) ; Erzurum, Şenkaya, Düzmeşe , 23.5.1977, 1♀ (leg. H. Özbek) ( EMET) .

Distribution. N.E. Turkey: North of Erzurum Province ( Fig. 846 ).

Remarks. Stshelkanovtzev (1916: 4) described this species after 2 males and 6 females (syntypes). One male and one female in the ZIN are labelled as “typus” and 2 females as “paratypus”. A type designation has not been published yet. The only male in the ZIN is designated as lectotype here.

The specimens from Erzurum, Tortum identified by Demirsoy (1973: 426, 1977: 82) as a new form of P. rubripes subrubrata probably belong to this species according to the charactes given by him.
