( Fig. 37 View FIGURE 37 )

Diagnosis. This species is very similar to P. subradiata ( Okada, 1977) in the shape of paramere, but can be distinguished from the latter by having the vertical process of gonopod radiated apically ( Fig. 37C View FIGURE 37 ); two basal bridges of aedeagal median rod fused to each other ( Fig. 37C View FIGURE 37 ).

Description. Frons dark brown. Face brownish. Mesoscutum and pleura brownish yellow, with brown spots and pollinose pattern. Scutellum brownish yellow, with 1 pair of dark brown patches distolaterally. Male terminalia ( Fig. 37 View FIGURE 37 ): Epandrium pubescent anteroventrally, with ca. 14 setae on dorsal to posterolateral portion per side ( Fig. 37A View FIGURE 37 ). Surstylus basally pubescent on outer surface, with ca. 6 wedge-like prensisetae on apical margin ( Fig. 37B View FIGURE 37 ). Posterolateral lobe of hypandrium undeveloped and lacking pubescence ( Fig. 37C View FIGURE 37 ). Paramere expanded and pubescent distally; apical and medial processes each with 1 tooth and 1 sensillum; basal process round apically ( Fig. 37D View FIGURE 37 ). Vertical process of gonopod apically with 4 or 5 of projections per side ( Fig. 37C View FIGURE 37 ). Aedeagal median rod submedially with 1 pair of small processes (pr in Fig. 37C View FIGURE 37 ) and 1 small projection (ps).
