E Chilien Shan Mtns, Papao (Chilien), 3600 meters, N Quinghai, China July 1995 ssp. kougfussi leg.: Kocman |
Rather scarce and with a limited range in W China (NE Tsinghai, S Kansu,
and W Szechuan), it is closely related to and in the past felt to be subspesific
to P simo. I follow Weiss in treating it
as a full species with 5+ subspecies all from eastern Tibet and all treated
under simo by some authors.
