Abstract:

On 19.V.2004, 15 ova of P. afra from the Greek prefecture of Kozani (West Macedonia) arrived at D. Jutzeler’s home;
they originated from a caged female collected by T. Lafranchis. In this study, the rearing of this material in Switzerland is documented
and compared with the results of the rearing of P. afra originating from Dalmatia (Croatia), carried out by P. Roos (1984).
The changes to both the specific and generic names, which have been used for this species, are traced back to the time of its discovery
in South Russia. Of the described subspecies of P. afra, the two Balkan races: ssp. pyramus (de Louker & Dils, 1987) and ssp.
dalmata (Godart, 1824) are discussed in detail whereas the others are merely summarised.
