Lectotype
.
Figs 78-81
Apart the differences supplied with the key, these females can be known from
Ps. villosa
by the different labrum, black, opaque apical border of
N
1
disk instead of semitransparent brown;
Sc
1
without either gradulus either smooth areas along its fore border, its entire surface completely and densely
p
with
iS
always less than their diametre; presence of a rough but well expressed omaulus on
es
2
, wearing out only ventrally; lateral
es
2
with strongly impressed and coalesced
p
mostly without
iS
among them and with small
p
inside them; ventral
es
2
without any micro
p
along their interconnection; signum very deeply impressed; black tegulae;
mR
well detectable at x50 on most of the body, except where are present micro
p
and
iS
are absent, on antennae, mandibles, tegulae,
P
, coxae, tibiae, tarsi, and visible 2

. Described for the first time. Size: body length =
12 mm
Habitus and coloration like
Ps.villosa
. Differs from it in having different shape of head in dorsal aspect; no vertical ridge on mid frons; rectilinear ventral border of clypeal lamella; different labrum; less elongated
Pam
(ratio between its length and length of labium about 1.8; in
Ps. villosa
the
same ratio is about 2.3); anteriorly more tightened
N
1
disk in dorsal aspect with a well expressed rough ridge along its fore border; very short median ridge of areola; strong very distinct semicircular ridge as high as areola ridges around
spP;
quite high gradulus on 1
st
tergum, where a sort of longitudinal very low, broad and ill defined median ridge from gradulus to apical border exists; genitalia; less impressed and dense
p
on most of head,
