Comment:   This is a very interesting specimen, which is almost certainly an undescribed species. My French colleagues are also not able to identify it, apart from the close resemblance to P. radiatus. If it is possible to procure further specimens, especially males, it would be good to examine them. Please be on the lookout for more. The uniformly pale abdomen is most unusual. A very intriguing record!!
