Material. Sudan: “Africa” “I. Haina, dung, 29.i. [19]30, R. C. Darling,” 1♀ (BMNH).
Remarks. This specimen belongs in the group of species with entirely brown or black fore basitarsomere and facial carina with λ-shaped white microtrichose pattern together with P. sericea and P. smaragdina , differing from them by the combination of deeply shagreened and strongly cyan to purple shining mesonotum (dull green in P. kirki sp. n., P. smaragdina and P. sericea ).
Mesonotum conspicuously rugulose, with cyan sheen and blue or golden reflections on scutum and purple sheen on scutellum.
This specimen possibly represents a new undescribed species, but since it is known from a single female of a fair quality (only one wing with missing apex present; cercal unit of the oviscape broken off), we do not formally name it here. Additional material is needed.
