Biology. Eduard Jendek, a Canadian entomologist working in the Ottawa Plant Laboratory, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, observed and took photos (Figs. 71–74) and videos of this species in Vietnam in the summer of 2012. According to him, three of the individuals occurred in a small area (6 square meters) at the side of a jungle trail, close to the margin with an open space. The flies were flying relatively slowly and were cumbersome. The first author visited the type locality of this species in Yunnan, China in autumn of 2012, and found this site to be very similar to the site which was described above for P. ichneumoneus in landscape, vegetation, humidity and temperature.
