Remarks. Richards (1978) treated P. boshelli as a subspecies of P. chartergoides but mentioned (p. 157) overlapping variation. From examination of specimens of the BMNH collection, it was observed that P. boshelli is only a variant of P. chartergoides. Thus, we consider them here as synonyms, P. chartergoides boshelli = P. chartergoides. |
