Markens, 16 May 1898, at Palermo, Sicily, Italy. The holotype is not known to exist; it is not housed at either museum in Florence, Italy, the Museo Zoologico de La Specola (Zoological Museum of Florence University) or the Instituto Sperimentale per la Zoologia Agraria (Minelli, in litt.). According to Cavanna (1881), the holotype was collected in 1878 at an unspecified location, probably in Sicily, by Dom. Eq. Zwierlein. Diagnosis. With the character of the genus (Figs. 42-43). Variation. The few specimens that I examined agree with the description by Cavanna (1881). Wiirmli (1975) also does not indicate significant variation. Ecology. According to Wiirmli (1975) and Minelli and Iovane (1987), P. zwierleini occurs from 0-900 m (0-2,952 ft.) in seashore environments and woodlands; it is usually encountered under large rocks or small stones, where soil moisture is Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original North Carolina State Museum of Natural History.
