This species agrees with P. fulvipes in having the thorax punctured, but the punctua- 

 tion is stronger ; there is only one yellow mark on the mesonotum ; the scutellum is, 

 for the greater part, yellow ; the spines on the metathorax are nearly obsolete ; the 

 black central stripe on the metanotum is separated from the basal black part ; the 

 hind femora are yellow and lined with black, and the femora are also lined with black.
