Comments

Only known from the type locality. Conde (1956) reported that specimens collected by Lindberg in two caves on Crete could be of the same species. He intended to describe it in more detail in a separate paper, but he never did. Sendra et al. 2020 identified the specimens as P. (P.) hoffmanni.
