Wing status. Hind wings are fully developed.

Distribution. Described from “Adowa” (= Adwa) in northern Ethiopia (Putzeys in Chaudoir, 1876). According to Clarke (1981), P. angustipennis is probably endemic to Ethiopia, but the species is winged and its distribution seems to be wider; at least it should be found in the nearest areas of Eritrea since there is no any biogeographical border between these countries. In Ethiopia, the species occurs in mountainous regions throughout the country at altitudes between 1450 and 3230 m ( Clarke, 1981; newly collected material).
