Diagnosis
This species resembles P. nasti in body size, shape and colouration but is distinguished by suberect elytral pubescence, antennomeres 4 and 5 slightly elongate, molar area of mandible without tooth and postcoxal lines on abdomen v-shaped.
Description
Length 6.3–7.3 mm; TL / EW = 1.19–1.25; PL / PW = 0.40–0.44; EL / EW = 1.05–1.08; EW / PW = 1.84–1.93.
Body ( Figures 6A View Figure 6 , 15E View Figure 15 ) elongate-oval, convex; surfaces covered setose with short, white, suberect setae. Dorsum black with only anterior angles of pronotum very narrowly yellow; ventral surfaces and legs black; only maxillae and labium chestnut brown; antennomere 1 black, antennomeres 2–7 yellow or yellowish-brown, antennomeres 8–11 dark brown to blackish.
Antenna ( Figure 5A View Figure 5 ) with antennomeres 4–7 weakly elongate, subequal in length; antennomere 8 transverse. Mandibles ( Figure 5F, G View Figure 5 ) with two apical and first subapical teeth large, triangular in shape; second subapical tooth small, subtriangular; all teeth without additional serration. Labrum deeply emarginate medially at apex ( Figure 5B View Figure 5 ). Labium ( Figure 5C–E View Figure 5 ) with palpomere 1 subquadrate, about half length of palpomere 2; terminal palpomere about 1.3–1.4 times longer than palpomere 2. Terminal maxillary palpomere about 1.35 times longer than wide ( Figure 5H View Figure 5 ).
Prosternal process ( Figure 6B View Figure 6 ) weakly widening near apex, truncate apically; width of prosternal process about 1.65 times greater than length of prosternum in front of procoxae. Mesoventral process ( Figure 6C View Figure 6 ) about 0.7 times as wide as mesocoxal diameter at the same position.
Legs with hind femora protruding from outer margin of elytral epipleuron ( Figure 6A View Figure 6 ).
Abdominal postcoxal lines V-shaped ( Figure 6K, L View Figure 6 ); male ventrite 5 as long as ventrite 4, apical margin of ventrite 5 truncate ( Figure 6L View Figure 6 ), ventrite 6 scarcely emarginate, tergite VIII rounded ( Figure 6F, G View Figure 6 ); apical margin of female ventrite 5 somewhat sinuate ( Figure 6K View Figure 6 ), sternite and tergite VIII rounded ( Figure 6D, E View Figure 6 ).
Male terminalia and genitalia ( Figure 6M–Q View Figure 6 ). Tergite IX not divided dorsally. Penis guide as long as parameres; apex slightly bent, rounded in outer view. Parameres slightly widening apically. Tegmen strut longer than penis guide and basal piece combined. Penis with apex slightly curved outwardly.
Female genitalia as in Figure 6H–J View Figure 6 with coxites transverse, almond-like.
