Diagnosis.
It is a medium sized species with a body length of 8.8-14.2 mm (excluding ovipositor), fore wing length 6.6-9.5 mm. It is readily distinguished by having a wide occipital carina (width equal to ocellus diameter), a pair of tooth-like processes on each latero-ventral margin of pronotum, reddish-orange hind tarsus, and ovipositor length 1.1-1.3 × fore wing length.
Morphometric ratios.
CIOL/ClL: 1.10; ClL/ClW: 3.33; ClW/OML: 0.69; CoL/CoW: 2.61; EL/EW: 2.42; EL/OML: 2.90; EW/OOCL: 0.40; EW/OTL: 1.21; FWL/FWW: 3.10; HL/ClL: 4.04; HL/TL: 2.07; HW/EW: 9.48; HW/HL: 1.21; IOL/CIOL: 1.36; IOL/EW: 2.91; IOL/HW: 0.30; IOL/OML: 3.48; MsL/MsW: 2.18; MtL/MtW: 2.57; PEL/PEW: 1.90; PL/PW: 0.67; POL/OD: 1.46; POL/OOL: 1.00; SL/SW: 2.89; TL/EL: 1.55.
Hosts.
This species was reared from Chlorophorus adelii Holzschuh, 1974 ( Coleoptera , Cerambycidae ) in tree oak, Quercus sp. ( Madl 1990, Wall 1994). The reared beetle is polyphagous on deciduous trees and is endemic to Iran ( Holzschuh 1974).
Remarks.
The distribution of this species covers mainly the European area (see Turrisi 2011). It shows some intraspecific variation in colour and sculpture of some parts of the body ( Turrisi 2007). The most similar species is P. lindae Turrisi, 2000, having hind tarsi blackish brown, metasoma more extensively red orange, different shape of mesosoma, sculpture of prescutum carinulate rugulose, a longer petiole and ovipositor (see Turrisi (2007, 2011 for more details). The head bears a coarser punctuation than European specimens of P. compressus and P. lindae , but less so than the other two similar species P. samai Turrisi, 2011 and P. rapuzzii Turrisi, 2011.
