I have one species that keys out as P. brunnipes, but I am a little worried that Rozkosy's discription does not mention the obvious, silvered orbito-antennal spots (look brown in wet specimens) which he does mention for other species when present.

Also I am a little concerned by the second half of couplet 27

"Row of small hairs along lower frontal eye-margin present, with at least several hairs distinct between anterior orbital seta and base of antennae."

How can the hairs be on the lower margin of the eye and between the OS setae and the antennal base at the same time??
