REMARKS: This species, characterized by “mesopleural bristles and setae absent” ( Beschovski & Merz, 1998), differs from exteriorly similar P. coronata basically by a yellow-golden frons under the transverse black band, by two slight black stripes along dorsocentral setae, by roughly continuous lateral black bands on segments 2-5 of abdomen and the male terminalia. The shape of the aedeagus of P. nigrolineata ( Fig. 8 View FIGS 7-8 ) is similar to P. nigripes and P. tryapitzini Tanasijtshuk, 1968 , but it differs from these two species in chaetotaxy, and colour of the antennae, palpi and legs ( Beschovski & Merz, 1998).
