Male. Length about 10 mm., anterior wing 8 ; head and thorax black, 
including mandibles and the very long antennae ; clypeus dull honey yellow, 
polished, the sides above black, middle depressed ; hair of head and thorax 
thin, dull white, a little fuscous on vertex and scutellum ; sides of face with 
rather dense white hair ; mesothorax dull, finely and closely punctured, but the 
punctures clearly visible under a lens ; scutellum bigibbous, the elevations 
shining, the distinct punctures well separated ; area of metathorax large, 
dullish, with strong straight well-spaced plicae at sides, but in middle with finely 
rugolose confused sculpture, hind margin obtuse, interrupted in middle ; teguke 
dark rufous ; wings hyaline, with a dusty apical spot ; stigma and nervures 
dilute sepia ; second cubital cell very broad, receiving recurrent nervure very 
near its end ; abdomen with first three segments dark chestnut red, the first

Cheltenham, Victoria, April 13, 1918 ( F. E. Wilson ) ; Queensland 
Museum. Allied to P. hybodinus Ckll., but elevation of second sternite much 
less pronounced, and red of abdomen much darker. They agree in the shining 
snow-white hair on inner side of hind tarsi. The stigma of P. hybodinus is 
redder, and the wings are not so long. P. hybodinus has the malar space 
shorter, and the clypeal pale area clear light yellow.

very long, reaching base of abdomen, flagellum bright ferruginous beneath ; 
face strongly narrowed below ; hair of face, front, and thorax above pale 
fulvous, on cheeks and under side of thorax it is dull white ; mesothorax and
