discussion
Remarks Based on morphological characters, Bianco & De Bonis (2015) described P. karsticus from the endorheic system of the karstic field Popovo Polje within the Trebišnjica River catchment in BiH. It is probably endemic to the same area (Bianco & De Bonis 2015). Palandačić et al. (2015, 2017) supported the validity of the species using mitochondrial data, but this was only partially supported by nuclear data. Further studies are necessary to resolve its taxonomy. Distributed also in Montenegro (Palandačić et al. 2015, 2017).
