alongmidline....................11<br />

– Dorsalmost part <strong>of</strong> anterior plate <strong>of</strong> pronotum<br />

not strongly projected anteriorly, and<br />

view. Length <strong>of</strong> dorsal area <strong>of</strong> pronotum<br />

short along midline . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13<br />

lateral facial area longitudinally carinate.<br />

Lower face longitudinally to diagonally<br />

carinate-rugose. Gena, lower part <strong>of</strong> lateral<br />

sides <strong>of</strong> pronotum, and mesopleural triangle<br />

glabrous and finely punctate with hairs.<br />

Lateral sides <strong>of</strong> metapectal-propodeal complex<br />

covered entirely with long and dense<br />

white hairs so conspicuous that no sculpture<br />

in <strong>the</strong> area is observable . . P. fucosus, n.sp.<br />

– Vertex and facial areas not carinate as above.<br />

Lateral areas <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> body, except gena,<br />

without glabrous areas. Lateral sides <strong>of</strong><br />

less dense and long hairs, but never as<br />

conspicuous as above . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14<br />

forming a relatively long dorsal pronotal area<br />

P. robustus, n.sp.<br />

– Posterior margin <strong>of</strong> mesoscutellum rounded............................16<br />

16. Forewing with a dark macula covering<br />

marginal cell, submarginal cell, and part <strong>of</strong><br />

first radial cell behind marginal cell. Gena<br />

with dense silvery hairs . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<br />

............... P. ven<strong>of</strong>orticulus, n.sp.<br />

dense hairs or with sparse hairs only. 17<br />

17. Body not entirely dark; head orange. Tergum<br />

7 <strong>of</strong> female has only a narrow band <strong>of</strong> sparse<br />

silvery hairs in anterior half. Tergum 8 <strong>of</strong><br />

female slightly exposed . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<br />

................ P. kitrinocarus, n.sp.<br />

– Body dark entirely. Tergum 7 <strong>of</strong> female with<br />

a band <strong>of</strong> dense, silvery hairs in anterior half.<br />

Tergum 8 <strong>of</strong> female completely covered by<br />

T7............................18<br />

18. Mesoscutellum very much narrowed posteriorly,<br />

appearing angular. Postpetiolar metasoma<br />

1.5 times as long as <strong>the</strong> distance from<br />

anterior tip <strong>of</strong> pronotal crest to end <strong>of</strong><br />

mesoscutellum; posterior margin <strong>of</strong> T5 <strong>of</strong><br />

female dorsally almost vertical posteriorly.<br />

Metasomabrown ..................<br />
