Remarks
Originally described as a Siberian subspecies of P. simo, a species which does not occur in Siberia, and subsequently placed as conspecific with P. tenedius (Eisner 1969); recognized as a separate species by Mrácek (1989), and recently accepted as such (e.g., Korshunov & Gorbunov 1995:54, Sorimachi 1995, Tuzov et al. 1997:142, and Weiss 1991); includes ammosovi Korshunov as a junior synonym
