Diagnosis. Body length 8.1–8.9 mm. Dorsal side dark brown with purple hue; pronotum with a pair of ivory callosities on each side, callosities about same size as the eyes; elytra unicolor . Tergum VII bicolor, middle area widely black, lateral sides with yellow patches around spiracles; sternum VII black, lateral sides with a pair of yellow patches adjacent to the tergal ones. Pronotum base strongly lobed, lateral notch (between posterior angle and basal lobe) width about same as length ( Fig. 53). Elytral third interval with two setigerous pores; apical margin strongly curved. Comparison with related species see diagnosis of P. dejeani .

Male genitalia ( Fig. 38 ). Median lobe of aedeagus fairly stout, apex weakly bent to right side in ventral view, right margin weakly sinuate before apex; apical lamella very small, its length about 0.6 times as basal width, rounded apically. Internal sac with main flagellum thick, apex almost reaching apical orifice; trumpet-form expansion large, length about 0.45 times as the main flagellum; secondary flagellum and apical bursa absent. Female genitalia not studied.

Distribution. Malay Peninsula, Borneo. ( Fig. 64 )
