Very narrow range in Ethiopia and NW Somalia; Not
at all common in general, but local and seasonal in occurance. Apparently
may be abundant at times in the right place. One of the smallest of the
nireus
group, also known as P microps
The bottom specimen was collected along with specimens
matching the top specimen in SW Ethiopia by D. Rogers. It may represent
