Arnold (1920a: 450) gave an illustrated translation of reddenburgensis, this is at {original description} and {original description}. Emery (1915j: 246) cited this as a species and suggested its affinities were closer to P. foreli Mayr and P. tenuinodis Mayr and, thus, to the megacephala-group. However, he had reddenburgensis as under P. capensis.
