Diagnosis
. Recognized by following combination of characters: overall dorsal coloration brown (
Fig. 5d
); antennal segment II with apical, white annulation that is relatively broad, as wide as half of interocular distance (
Fig. 5d
); scutellum with yellow patches baso-laterally and apically, moderately convex with moderately developed, longitudinal, medial swelling (
Fig. 5d
); posterior lobe of pronotum flat. hemelytron dark brown (
Fig. 5d
); R+M vein with yellow patch medially (
Fig. 5d
); medial fracture with longitudinal, yellow patch subapically (
Fig. 5d
); claval suture with short longitudinal yellow stripe apically (
Fig. 5d
).
Redescription

Female
.
COLORATION
(
Fig. 5d
).
Dark brown with yellow areas.
Head
. Dark yellow-fuscous; antennal segment I black; segment
II
brown dark yellow, narrowly black basally and with narrow yellow annulation apically; labium dark brown.
Thorax
. Pronotum
. Dark brown.
Mesoscutum and scutellum
. Dark brown; mesoscutum weakly tinged with dark yellow near lateral margin; scutellum with two large patches each situated baso-laterally and with indistinct, longitudinal, dark yellow stripe, originating from medial part and terminating apically.
Thoracic pleura
. Proepisternum and proepimeron dark brown; remaining pleura black; ostiolar peritreme dark grey.
Hemelytron
. Dark brown;
R
+M vein with yellow patch medially; medial fracture with longitudinal, yellow patch subapically; claval suture with short longitudinal yellow stripe apically; membrane dark grey.
Legs
. Procoxa black; meso– and metacoxae dark yellow tinged with fuscous; mesofemur weakly tinged with dark yellow near apex; metafemur tinged with yellow basally and subapically; tibiae and tarsi dark yellow; tibiae narrowly black basally; protibia with narrow, dark brown annulation apically.
Abdomen
. Black.
TEXTURE
AND VESTITURE
(

.
Scutellum
. Covered with
two types
of setae: one short, dense, and recumbent and other longer, sparse, and erect,
Hemelytron
. Covered with relatively dense, long, semi-recumbent setae.
STRUCTURE
(

)
.
Thorax
.

Male:
Unknown.
Measurements
.
Body
. Length: 4.60, width 1.70.
Head
. Length: 0.40, width: 0.96, interocular distance 0.33.
Antenna
. Length of segment I: 0.63, II: 1.65, III: 2.30, IV: 2.55.
Labium
. Length of segment I: 0.80, II: 0.68, III: 0.64, IV: 0.46.
Pronotum
. Length: 0.66, width of anterior margin: 0.96, length of lateral margin: 0.60, width of posterior margin: 1.50.
Biology
. Unknown.
Distribution
.
Panama
(Bugaba).
Remarks
. Most like
P. cerbereus
and
P. nubilus
in sharing the relatively small body (<5.0 mm) and scutellum with weakly convex, narrow medial, longitudinal swelling. In can be distinguished by the yellow patches on hemelytron (
Fig. 5d
).
