Remarks.
This species is known only from the male
holotype
from southwestern
China
. It resembles the Japanese species
P. aristalis
(Mesnil & Shima)
in general appearance, such as the head almost holoptic with the gena dense haired, arista long plumose and tibia with 3 apical dorsal setae, but differs from that species for mid tibia with only one anterodorsal setae and male cerci rather parallel-sided along basal 1/3 to 2/3, then evenly narrowed to apex in dorsal view, instead of mid tibia with 2 anterodorsal setae and cerci evenly narrowed from basal 1/3 to apex in
P. aristalis
