Comment. The previously known distribution of P. parvidenticulatus included the provinces of Guizhou and Guangxi ( Li et al., 2013; Peng et al., 2014). This species is subject to considerable intraspecific variation of characters such as punctation ( Fig. 5 A), the shape of the head, pronotum ( Fig. 5 B) and internal structures of the aedeagus ( Figs 5 C–E). The above records from Hunan represent new provincial records.
