Diagnosis

Only male known. Body length: 6–7 mm. A small species without lateral bulges on the frons and postpedicel 3.3–3.7× as long as scape (n = 3). In colouration it looks much like P. indica and P. vespiformis, from which it differs by the longer than wide tergite 2 (wider than long in P. indica and P. vespiformis) and the long setulae on the vertex, which are at least twice as long as the diameter of the ocelli (approximately as long as diameter of ocelli in P. indica and P. vespiformis) (Figs 25, 76). Male genitalia as in Fig. 135.
