COMMENTS

In the description of FAGEL (1963), the location of the types of P. lividipes is Zanzibar. Zambeze refers to the river, although most locations are not on recent maps it is probably all Mozambique. The ♀ from Mozambique: Border Forest Farm, is labelled paratype, publication mentions the specimens but not as types .

Fagel misinterpreted P. frater . All the specimens identified by him, I could confirm as P. lividipes , except the type of P. frater .
