Differential diagnosis.
This species can be differentiated from all others of
Ponyalis
by the combination of the following characters: pronotum black, with red margins, elytra red (Fig.
2 C, D
); male antennomere I nearly globular,
III
with outer apical angle strongly protruding laterally, lamellae of
IV
– X nearly parallel-sided along the whole length, lamella of
IV
long and 2.0 × longer than joint itself, (Fig.
2 C
); elytral primary costae much stouter than the secondary ones in whole length, cells transverse to squared (Fig.
2 C, D
); phallus moderately projected distad at apical margin, narrowly rounded at apex in dorsal and ventral views (Fig.
3 D, E
).
Descriptive notes.
Male
(Fig.
2 C
). Antennae reaching apical 1 / 4 length of elytra when inclined, antennomere I nearly globular,
III
long-triangular, 1.4 × as long as wide, with outer apical angle strongly protruding laterally, lamellae of
IV
– X abruptly extended laterally and nearly parallel-sided along the whole length, 5.5–7.0 × longer than the corresponding antennomere itself, XI parallel-sided and 13.0 × as long as wide.
Aedeagus: phallus slender and 3.7 × as long as wide, barely widened at basal part and arcuate at lateral margins, moderately projected distad at apical margin and narrowly rounded at apex in dorsal and ventral views, with sharp latero-apical angels, between which the distance barely greater than maximal width of trunk (Fig.
3 D, E
), almost even in width and nearly straight, truncate at ventro-apical 1 /
5 in
lateral view (Fig.
3 F
).
Female
(Fig.
2 D
). Similar to male, but body stouter, antennae shorter and reaching elytral apical 1 / 3 length when inclined, antennomeres
III
–
V
all nearly triangular, lamellae of
VI
– X 1.1–1.5 × as long as its corresponding antennomere itself, XI fusiform and 4.0 × as long as wide.
