Remarks. The Iranian population of P. t hornei (Pourjam et al. 1997) closely corresponds to the original description (Sher & Allen 1953). Loof (1991) and Handoo & Golden (1989) suggested that P. ranjani (Khan & Singh 1975) Pourjam, Kheiri, Geraert & Alizadeh 1999 a could possibly be conspecific with P. thornei. Subsequent SEM studies on specimens of both species revealed the presence of an incomplete annule on one side which falsely appeared as a fourth annule in light microscopy observations. Because of the similarity in measurements and other characters, both species were synonymized (Pourjam et al. 1997, 1999a).
