( Figs. 23–29 View FIGURES 23 – 29 , 74, 83 View FIGURES 72 – 89 , 92 View FIGURES 90 – 98 , 101 View FIGURE 101 )

Diagnosis. Length, male (1.55–2.15 mm). Width, male (0.95–1.55 mm). As P. branstetteri but rostrum not humped, scape with setae, as large as desmomeres 1 to 3 together. Elytral margins subparallel to declivity, tubercles at the base of declivity slight and laterally compressed, flanks not acuteangulate with the dorsum, humeral projections rounded. Abdominal ventrite lacking tufts of setae. Femora unarmed. Pedon subparallel, not lobulate at the apex as P. longinoi , apodemes more than 2.5X longer than pedon, posterior genital sclerite in dorsal view a concave plate with anterior side concurrent and rounded, anterior genital sclerite with basal ring and 2 processes forming capsule-like structure divided longitudinally along the middle.

Female. Length (1.80–2.15 mm). Width (1.05–1.25 mm). Elytra tuberculate, tubercles conspicuously smaller than those in males, humeri rounded.
