   the

  The 
  marks 
  on 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  only 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  base; 
  the 
  

   median 
  segment 
  not 
  distinctly 
  areolated, 
  only 
  the 
  basal 
  

   areas 
  being

  Very 
  similar 
  to 
  P. 
  kliasiana 
  ; 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  known 
  

   from 
  it 
  by 
  the 
  marks 
  on 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  being 
  larger, 
  

   by 
  the 
  abdomen 
  being 
  distinctly 
  punctured, 
  by 
  the 
  petiole 
  

   being 
  shorter 
  compared 
  with 
  the 
  second 
  segment 
  and 
  

   having 
  in 
  its 
  centre, 
  as 
  has 
  also 
  the 
  second 
  segment, 
  a 
  

   distinct 
  depression 
  ; 
  there 
  are 
  no 
  black 
  marks 
  on 
  the 
  

   second 
  segment 
  ; 
  the 
  basal 
  central 
  area 
  on 
  the 
  median 
  

   segment 
  is 
  distinctly 
  wider 
  than 
  its 
  length, 
  and 
  distinctly 
  

   narrowed 
  from 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  and 
  the 
  apical 
  lateral 
  area 
  is 
  

   narrower 
  compared 
  with 
  the 
  basal.
