S. Mahunka szerk.: Folia Entomologica Hungarica 60. (Budapest, 1999)

all specimens of P. confinis preserved in the Hungarian Natural History Museum Budapest, a few further specimens were also found. The whole series contains recently 14 male specimens and a single female, which has not been involved into the type series and the description due to the lack of distinctive, specific features of the females of this group. It is worth to mention that I had a longer discussion with Dr. Lauterer about this taxon and the possibility of similar transformation of certain morphological characters caused by the infection of parasitoid Hymenopterans (e.g. Dryinidae species). I paid special attention to check the symptoms of the possible presence of ectoparasitoids as signs of sucking, whitenings on the body, asymmeirical or pathological development of different parts of the body, but no such sign was recognized.
