Remarks. The species is similar to
P. armoraciae
, but it can be distinguished from the latter by following: elytra strongly shining, usually greenish-blue, often with golden, purplish or violaceus reflex; apex of abdomen usually entirely black; punctures of lateral stria 4–5 times than their diameter. We add this species here because it occurs in border of
China
, and it probably occurs in
China
too.
