The status of this species is uncertain and records of it from France, Corsica and Malta are now referred to P. Macedonian .(Condé & Nguyen Duy 1971, Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin 1996, Ebejer& Schembri 2001). There thus remains only Silvestri’s original record from Portici (Silvestri 19U3). Until the type specimen is located it remains impossible to tell from Silvestri’s description if this species is the same as P. macedónicas (Nguyen Duy-Jacqucmin, pcrs. comm.).
