Medium sized, slender species. General color concolorous dark brown to black; forewings grayish black except for brown clavus, costal area and apex; mesonotum, pronotum and crown brown; eyes light yellowish (
Plate 2D
); face light yellow. Head nearly as wide as pronotum, anterior margin broadly rounded; crown broad, slightly wider than width of eyes, produced anteriorly about ¼ of entire median length, lateral margins nearly parallel, disk flat; pronotum slightly longer than crown; mesonotum large, twice as long as pronotum; forewings long, broad, 3 anteapical cells present, outer one closed; clypeus long, very broad, lateral margins broadly convex, median longitudinal carina faint; clypellus about 1/3 as long as clypeus, narrow, apex flared.
Male genitalia.
Pygofer in lateral view small, triangulate, few short setae on caudoventral margin (
Fig. 93
); right subgenital plate long, narrow, few stout setae apically on inner lateral margin (
Fig. 94
); style long, about as long as aedeagus, apophysis slender (
Figs. 95, 96
); aedeagus long, very slender, tubular, apex curved dorsally in lateral view, gonopore subapical on ventral margin (
Figs. 97, 98
); connective small, nearly T-shaped, without membrane, stem very short; (

Etymology.
The name is descriptive for the small pygofer and connective. The aedeagal shaft is unusually narrow.
Remarks.
This species is nearest to
P. melanota
(
Figs. 100–105
,
Nielson, 1979
) and can be separated by the smaller genitalia structures and much fewer and shorter setae on the pygofer (
Figs. 94–101
).
