Remarks.

The examined specimens from southwestern Türkiye used in this study for molecular analysis match the description of P. vietsi. The latter species, originally described by Oezkan (1982) from Erzurum province belongs to the eximia species group (see Gerecke 1996 for discussion on diagnostic features of P. vietsi). The molecularly studied specimens from Burdur and Isparta forms a unique BIN (BOLD: AGG 3760).
