Female seventh sternite of P. montanus ; 42. Left fore femur of male P. montanus , anterior view. Remarks: Examination of the type specimen revealed that the species is pale yellow with a black spot on the vertex, the median carina on the head is not raised, the male pygophore has long, slender ventral processes exceeding the pygophore and the aedeagal shaft has a large, elongate, basal hood-like process. These characters showed that the species does not belong to Pythamus but to Onukia Matsumura and hence the generic transfer.
