Diagnosis.
This species is somewhat similar to
P
.
eugamma
(
Toda & Peng, 1990
)
and
P
.
gamma
(
Toda & Peng, 1990
)
in having the male abdominal sixth tergite not extended on posterolateral corners and aedeagal outer membrane with minute, transparent spinules, but can be distinguished from the above-mentioned two species by having the aedeagal median rod distally with 1 spine-like process and 1 deeply bifurcated process per side, basally without didymous, rod-like processes (
Fig. 34C
); paramere curved basally (
Fig. 34D
).
Description.
Frons dark brown to black above, brown below. Face brown. Mesoscutum, pleura and scutellum brown, with dark brown to black patches and pollinose patterns. Male terminalia (
Fig. 34
): Epandrium pubescent anteroventrally, with ca. 7 setae on dorsal to posterolateral portion per side (
Fig. 34A
). Surstylus lacking pubescence on outer surface, with several wedge-like prensisetae on apical margin (
Fig. 34B
). Posterolateral lobe of hypandrium undeveloped and lacking pubescence (
Fig. 34C
). Paramere with 1 sensillum and 3 teeth on apical process; medial and basal process slender and glabrous (
Fig. 34D
).
