Diagnosis
. Recognized by the following set of features: dorsum dark brown black (
Fig. 5c
); antennal segment II with white annulation on apex that is much narrower than half of interocular distance (
Fig. 5c
); posterior lobe of pronotum with distinct, broad swelling medially (
Fig. 5c
); scutellum distinctly convex (
Fig. 5c
), covered with very short, semi-recumbent setae (
Fig. 11l
); endosoma membranous, with small sclerotized lobe apically (
Figs
13m
–o
); distal sclerotized portion of ductus seminis short, not caliciform, lateral margins almost parallel (
Fig.
13m
, o
); base of dss with small sclerotized plate (
Fig.
13m
); left paramere apical process relatively thick, weakly arcuate, with well-developed lateral outgrowth that is broad, long, weakly arcuate (
Figs 13p, q
); dorsal labiate plate with sclerotized rings paired, kidney-shaped, large, occupying most of bursa copulatrix (
Figs 19a, b
); ventral labiate plate with broad, club-like sclerotization (
Fig. 19c
).
Description.
Male.
COLORATION
(
Fig. 5c
). Dorsum dark brown to black to entirely black with indistinct, small yellowish areas.
Head
. Fuscous, tinged with yellow; antenna fuscous; antennal segment I weakly and narrowly tinged with yellow basally; segment II weakly tinged with dark yellow basally and with white indistinct, narrow annulation apically; labium dark brown to black.
Thorax
.
Pronotum, mesoscutum, scutellum, and hemelytron
. Uniformly black; scutellum sometimes weakly tinged with dark brown medial and with small yellowish patch apically.
Thoracic pleura
. Dark brown to black; metathoracic scent gland evaporative area dark brown its posterior portion contrastingly yellow.
Abdomen
. Black tinged with dark brown.
TEXTURE AND VESTITURE
(

).
Thorax
.
Scutellum
. Covered with very sparse, irregular, erect and semi-recumbent setae.
Hemelytron
. Covered with short, semi-recumbent setae.
STRUCTURE
(
Fig. 5c
).
Thorax
.
Pronotum
. Posterior lobe with well-developed swelling medially.
Scutellum
. Scutellum with strongly convex, broad longitudinal swelling medially.
Abdomen
.
Genitalia
. Endosoma membranous, with small, sclerotized lobe apically (
Figs
13m
–o
); distal sclerotized portion of ductus seminis short with lateral margins almost parallel (
Fig.
13m
, o
); base of dss with small, sclerotized plate (
Fig.
13m
); left paramere apical process relatively thick, weakly arcuate, with well-developed lateral outgrowth that is broad, long, weakly arcuate (
Figs 13p, q
); right paramere sickle-shaped, apical process relatively short (
Fig. 13r
).
Female. Like male in coloration, structure, texture, and vestiture.
Genitalia
. Bursa copulatrix with sclerotized rings paired, kidney-shaped, large, occupying most of bursa copulatrix (
Figs 19a, b
); ventral labiate plate with broad, club-like sclerotization (
Fig. 19c
).
Measurements

holotype
measurements):
Body
. Length: 5.6*–5.9/6.3, width 1.85*–2.1/2.2–2.5.
Head
. Length. 0.5*–0.55/0.55, width: 1.1*/1.15, interocular distance 0.40*/0.4–0.43.
Antenna
. Length of segment I: 0.56*–0.60/0.57–0.62, II: 2.55*/2.5–2.6, III: 4.0*/3.75–4.5, IV: 3.75*/3.25–4.0.
Labium
. Length of segment I: 0.76–0.875*/0.9, II: 0.82*–0.875/0.95, III: 0.82*–0.86/0.85, IV: 0.4*/0.47.
Pronotum
. Length. 0.95–1.05*/1.0, width of anterior margin: 0.95*–1.1/1.1–1.15, length of lateral margin: 0.95*/0.96, width of posterior margin: 2.0*– 2.05/2.15.
Etymology
. The specific epithet is used to denote the distal part of ductus seminis with nearly parallel lateral margins.
Biology
. Unknown.
Distribution
.
Ecuador
,
Guyana
(
Upper Demerara-Berbice
).
Remarks
. Most like
P. calyciformis
and
P. parallelus
in sharing scutellum with short, semi-recumbent setae (
Fig. 11h
). It can be distinguished by the distal portion of ductus seminis inside endosoma nearly rectangular with almost parallel lateral margins (
Fig.
13m
, o
).
