• Text: "The absence of authentic specimens makes it difficult to decide whether P. tepperi Bennett is conspecific with P. sulcatus Bennett (1892), a species which is recorded by Willis [Handb. Pl. Vict. 1 (1962) 64] also to occur in South Australia. P. sulcatus Bennett is treated as a synonym of P. tricarinatus Bennett by Thompson [Contrib. New South Wales Nat. Herb. Fl. Ser. 1-18 (1961) 67]."
