I'd like to know whether the black spots at the lower facial margin are present in P. litura (I thought this is a distinguishing feature of P. intermedia). Because the bristles on the wing (base of R4+5) vein should lead to the ID as P. litura

are there any (original or re-)descriptions of these species available? P. intermedia has only been described in 1979 by Remm, but I cannot find a publication

I think this is P litura (please correct the name), on the base of Semelbauer (2016) in Fauna Slovenska. Good book, maybe useful to you (geographic proximity). It is in Slovak language but with instructive pictures.

Thanks Jan, considering to buy it - although a digital version would be more convenient to translate
