1.5 times as long as submarginal cell. Bulla
on Sc+R 1 absent.
Abdominal petiole 0.25 times as long as
wide in lateral view. Relative length of T3–7:
2.3:1.0:1.5:2.7:1.4; T3–4 glabrous; T5 glabrous
anteriorly and very finely punctate
posteriorly, T6–7 densely punctate, each with
a band of sparse pubescence; T8 completely
covered by T7. Apical teeth of metatibia long
and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.85.
MALE: Unknown.
TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Russia:
Primorsk (Shkotovsk), 1975-VII-22, collected
by Krivagutzkaya coll. (ZISP).
The species can be separated from P.
apeosus, the only othe other species of the
species group, using the above key.
DISTRIBUTION: Russia: Primorsk.
ETYMOLOGY: From Latin, fretus, trusting
to. No particular reference, just personal
caprice of the authors.
RUFICOLLIS GROUP
figures 45–63
The ruficollis group is mainly distributed in
the Oriental region with a terminal clade
comprising three species from the Neotropical
region.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARACTERS: Body size
median to relatively large. Antenna filiform.
Female antenna has 13 segments with F1
distinctly or slightly shorter than F2. All
flagellomeres have placodes; placodes short,
not as long as the flagellomeres, and are
usually densely, but relatively sparsely in the
Neotropical species, distributed on each
medial to distal segment. Male antenna has
14 segments, F1 almost cylindrical, only very
slightly depressed on ventral side. Median
frontal carina generally lacking in lower face.
Occiput glabrous, occasionally coriarious.
Lateral pronotal carinae not reaching pronotal
crest dorsomedially. Lateral sides of
pronotum foveate to foveate-reticulate, with
or without secondary transverse costae, and
not separated by the extended, less sculptured
anterior surface. Pronotal crest raised dorsomedially
into a small, distinct process or
two submedian processes. Mesoscutum predominantly
transversely carinate with more
or less obvious foveae in between. Mesoscutellum
flat or slightly sloped posteriorly, and
foveate-reticulate. Scutellar sulcus always
divided into more than two foveae by several
subequally strong longitudinal carinae. Axillar
area with conspicuous hair tuft. Upper
mesopleural area glabrous. Median mesopleural
impression medially bent, wider and
deeper toward ends. Metepisternum divided
into several longitudinal impressions by several
strong longitudinal carinae. Dorsoapical dents
of metatibia short and blunt; first metatarsomere
without apical protuberance. T7 of
female with posterior margin curved dorsolaterally,
distinctly exposing T8. T6–8 with more
or less coarse punctures with hairs. Post
petiolar terga of male subequal to each other.
