Diagnosis
. Recognized by the following set of features: dorsum dark brown (
Fig. 6a
); antennal segment II with relatively broad, apical, white annulation that is as wide as half of interocular distance (
Fig. 6a
); posterior lobe of pronotum with distinct swelling medially (
Fig. 6a
); scutellum distinctly convex, with longitudinal swelling medially (
Fig. 6a
); anal vein with short, yellow stripe subapically (
Fig. 6a
); endosoma membranous; distal sclerotized part of ductus seminis (dss) short, rectangular (
Figs 14a, b
); ventro-apical margin of ductus seminis inside endosoma with deep incision (
Fig. 14b
); left paramere apical process with short basolateral outgrowth (
Figs 14c, d
).
Redescription
. Female.
COLORATION
(
Fig. 6a
). Dorsum dark brown.
Head
. Dark brown with dark yellow areas medially and laterally; antenna dark brown; antennal segment II with relatively broad, apical, white annulation that is as wide as half of interocular distance; labium dark brown.
Thorax
.
Pronotum, mesoscutum, scutellum and hemelytron
. Dark brown; anal vein with short, yellow stripe subapically.
Thoracic pleura
. Dark brown; metathoracic scent gland evaporative areas tinged with dark yellow posteriorly.
Legs
. Pro– and mesocoxae dark brown; metacoxa yellow, dark brown basally; femora dark castaneous, with yellow annulation subapically; metafemur with broad, yellow annulation basally; tibiae dark castaneous; tarsi brown, tinged with dark yellow.
Abdomen
. Black, tinged with dark yellow.
TEXTURE AND VESTITURE
(
Fig. 6a
).
Thorax
.
Mesoscutum, scutellum, and hemelytron
. Covered with short, fine, dense, recumbent setae.
STRUCTURE
(
Fig. 6a
).
Thorax
.
Pronotum
. Posterior lobe with distinct swelling medially.
Scutellum
. With strongly convex, broad longitudinal swelling medially.
Hemelytron
. Surface between R+M vein and medial fracture rugose.
Abdomen
.
Genitalia
. Endosoma membranous (
Figs 14a, b
); distal sclerotized part of ductus seminis (dss) short, rectangular, with transparent portion dorsally (
Figs 14a, b
); ventro-apical margin of ductus seminis inside endosoma with deep incision (
Fig. 14b
); left paramere C-shaped, apical process with short process basolaterally (
Figs 14c, d
); right paramere sickle-shaped (
Figs 14e
).
Male. Like female in color, structure, texture, and vestiture.
Measurements
.
♂
/
♀
, lecotype measurements second.
Body
. Length: 7.00/6.40, width 2.00/2.3.
Head
. Length: 0.51/0.50, width: 1.1/1.2, interocular distance 0.40/0.43.
Antenna
. Length of segment I: 0.73/0.62, II: 2.6/2.75, III: 2.8/3.10, IV: 3.15/3.5.
Labium
(immeasurable in
holotype
). Length of segment I: 0.70, II: 0.87, III: 0.85, IV: 0.35.
Pronotum
. Length: 1.00/1.00, width of anterior margin: 1.10/1.10, length of lateral margin: 1.05/1.00, width of posterior margin: 2.20/2.20.
Biology
. Unknown, collected on fallen trees covered with black fungi (
Distant 1883
).
Distribution
.
Costa Rica
(
Cartago
),
Guatemala
(Senahu).
Remarks
. Most like
P. scutellaris
in sharing the clavus having a short, yellow stripe apically (
Figs 6a, b
), the distal portion of ductus seminis inside endosoma (dss) short, not caliciform with ventro-apical margin concave in the middle (
Figs 14a, b, f, h
), and the left paramere apical process lateral outgrowth short (
Figs 14c, d, i, j
). It can be distinguished by the presence of deeper incision on ventro-apical margin of the dss (
Fig. 14b
).
