Interesting,

Difficult to interpret from pictures only...

But I tend to agree with Paraphamartania (and if so, an undescribed species) but I have some doubts.. To name one: the lack of dorsocentral and scutellar bristles is striking (note that females of P. stukei lack scutellar bristles, but have distinctive DC).

For this I am curious - Jorge, how many did you collect? :-)
The typical genital structure in both male and female are very distinctive and can be assessed in hand.

I will meet Reinoud again pretty soon so it might be interesting to see this specimen in hand/detail? At moment I still have to return the types of P. syriaca and marvaoensis (shame on me).

A+
