Female. Lectotype. Figs 78-81

Apart the differences supplied with the key, these females can be known from Ps. villosa by the different labrum, black, opaque apical border of N 1 disk instead of semitransparent brown; Sc 1 without either gradulus either smooth areas along its fore border, its entire surface completely and densely p with iS always less than their diametre; presence of a rough but well expressed omaulus on es 2, wearing out only ventrally; lateral es 2 with strongly impressed and coalesced p mostly without iS among them and with small p inside them; ventral es 2 without any micro p along their interconnection; signum very deeply impressed; black tegulae; mR well detectable at x50 on most of the body, except where are present micro p and iS are absent, on antennae, mandibles, tegulae, P, coxae, tibiae, tarsi, and visible 2 nd to 5 th terga.

Male. Figs 82-87 . Described for the first time. Size: body length = 12 mm

Habitus and coloration like Ps.villosa . Differs from it in having different shape of head in dorsal aspect; no vertical ridge on mid frons; rectilinear ventral border of clypeal lamella; different labrum; less elongated Pam (ratio between its length and length of labium about 1.8; in Ps. villosa the same ratio is about 2.3); anteriorly more tightened N 1 disk in dorsal aspect with a well expressed rough ridge along its fore border; very short median ridge of areola; strong very distinct semicircular ridge as high as areola ridges around spP; quite high gradulus on 1 st tergum, where a sort of longitudinal very low, broad and ill defined median ridge from gradulus to apical border exists; genitalia; less impressed and dense p on most of head, N 1 disk, Sc 1, Sc 2; large smooth area without any mR around ocelli; back (inner) surface of mid femur without any mR; terga without mR; inner area to tuberculum on 5 th sternum without any mR.
