Diagnosis.
This species resembles
S
.
flavichypeata
Chen & Chen in
Lu
et al.
2011a
in the yellow clypeus and palpus, and colour patterns of body (
Fig.
2I
), but can be distinguished by having the face black on upper 2/3, yellow on lower 1/3; aedeagus with triangular opening in ventral view (
Fig. 12B
). In
S
.
flavichypeata
: Face black, with yellow band medially; aedeagus with rhombic opening in ventral view (fig.
24 in
Lu
et al
. 2011a
). The minimum interspecific genetic distance to
P.
flavichypeata
is 7.1%, which is smaller than to other species in this group (
Table 2
).
Description.
Male and female. Frons black, with orange yellow stripe medially and band submedially. First flagellomere medially grayish yellow on basal half, black on distal half. Mesonotum black, with thin, yellow longitudinal stripes sublaterally (
Fig.
2I
). Katepisternum entirely white (
Fig.
2I
). Scutellum black, yellow at tip (
Fig.
2I
). Veins R
4+5
and M
1
lacking setae on basal section of dorsal surface. Legs white on basal half of all femora, brown on distal 1/3 of foreleg femur, black on distal half of femora and basal half of tibiae of mid and hindleg, yellow on the rest. Fore femur distally with 3 or 4 setae on posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites 1st to 5th medially brown, laterally yellowish brown, nearly black on 6th tergite in male; all tergites black in female. Sternites yellow to brownish yellow. Male terminalia (
Fig. 12
A–F): Hypandrium anteromedially slightly elongated, about 1.2 times as long as width of epandrium, with a few paramedian setae posteroventrally. Gonopods slightly triangular. Aedeagus slightly expanded distally in ventral view, about 3/5 times as long as aedeagal apodeme. Female terminalia (
Fig. 12
G–I): Epiproct, cercus and hypoproct with dense setae and pubescence. Eighth sternite glabrous on anterior 2/3 region, with dense setae and pubescence on posterior 1/3 region.
