Narolsky 2003
(
Figs. 9
a–b and
9g
)
Diagnosis.
Medium sized orange species characterized by its ovipositor, which is shorter than the metasoma and hardly swollen at tip. This species is very close to
P. quilicii
, but its ovipositor is shorter and the vein
1/Cu
of hind wing is generally shorter than
cu-a
.
Description.
FEMALE (
10 specimens
). L: 9.6 (8.7–10.2).
Head.
Face densely punctate-shagreened. Clypeus wide and transverse, sparsely punctate. Clypeal fovea deep.
Mesosoma
. Densely punctate-shagreened. Scutoscutellar groove with longitudinal wrinkles. Postscutellum longitudinally striate. Propodeum coarsely punctate with distinct carinae.
Hind
wing with
1/Cu
generally shorter than
cu-a.
Metasoma
. Postpetiole, tergite II and basal part of tergite III striate, the remaining tergites alutaceous and shining. Ovipositor moderately long (OTi = 1.7–2.3) and hardly swollen at apex.
Color.
Yellowish-orange overall, some specimens with testaceous spots on mesonotum.
MALE. (
10 specimens
) L. 9.4 (9.1–9.8). Propodeal carination stronger, otherwise structurally similar to female. Body yellow orange as in female but with black parts: frons, vertex, occiput and lobes of mesonotum. Postpetiole and apex of tibia infuscate.
