Distribution

Austria, China (Guizhou, Henan, Fujian, Hainan, Yunnan, Guangdong), former Czechoslovakia, former Yugoslavia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Korea, Moldova, Russia, Spain.

Remarks

The lectotype of P. nigra , from Hungary, was examined by the second author. The type series of P. bisulcata is lost. This female agrees with the description of P. bisulcata except for body length (3.5 mm vs 2.6–3.2 mm for the types) and the antennae segments number (35 vs 29–30 for the types). There are thirteen males agreeing with the description of P. bisulcata .
