Yasunaga, 1 ♀( AMNH_PBI 00380625) ( TYCN).  PHILIPPINES: NEGROSISLAND:Camp Lookout, Dumaguete, 22 May 1961, Schneirla & Reyes, 1 ♁ (00110770) ( AMNH).   Distribution. Indonesia( Sumatra) (new record), Papua New Guinea( CARVALHO 1987), Philippines(Negros) (new record).   Comments.A female specimen ( Fig. 43) from N. Sumatraand a male ( Fig. 44) from Negros Island could belong to this taxon, which is now assumed to be a close relative of  P. nigriclavus, based on similarities in basic color pattern (yellow-brown dorsum, yellow pronotum sometimes with dark, posterior fascia and more or less darkened clavus), elongate median process at apex of left paramere hypophysis, and presence of a single lobal-sclerite on the endosoma. But the scutellum of  P. alboscutellatussometimes has a large, black, triangular mark in the middle, differing from that illustrated by CARVALHO (1987).
