COMMENTS

This species was well represented in the specimens that Fagel had looked at with dissected aedeagus, but he did not notice the differences in aedeagus. So the species recognized by FAGEL (1963) in his revision belong to four species: P. alacus , P. altivagans , P. narcisse and P. rwandensis , on the external characteristics not distinguishable. The genitalia are similar, but with clear differences and no intermediate forms. Copulatory pieces with some individuals are fold out and longer than the median lobe. Based on the revised specimens, this species is endemic to Congo-Kinshasa and other country records coul d be erased.
