Discussion.
This species is similar to
P. melanosoma
(see discussion of
P. melanosoma
). It is also similar to
P. cinctulata
and may be distinguished as follows (
P. cinctulata
in parentheses): punctures on mesepisternum not rough, their diameter and depth regular, and distances between them regular (punctures on mesepisternum rough, their diameter and depth irregular, distances between them also irregular); mesoscutellum, mesoscutellar appendage and metascutellum with white (dorsum of thorax completely black); outer part of hind coxa with a large white spot, hind trochanter white, hind femur black (hind coxa completely black, hind trochanter black, basal 1/3 of hind femur white); labrum and clypeus white, medially with black spots (labrum dark brown, anterior and posterior margin white, clypeus completely black). Except for the serrulae and punctures on mesepisternum, reliable morphological differences between these three species were not found.
