| Taxon Notes: | This species is currently known from few records, but recently Yang et al (2015) have shown using molecular evidence that it has been confused with P. australiensis. Any records of the latter need to be re-examined to confirm their identity. While P. ruberoculatus is not currently recorded from Australia, it may be present. | ||
