Y. leg. [JRAS 02350_0310], deposited in MZB, Bogor . Condition: glued by right side on rectangular card; perfect state, entire. Paratypes: • 22 ♀, 28 ♂, same data as holotype . Paratype specimens deposited in MZB, Bogor and CBGP, Montpellier.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Female recognized by the alutaceous lower face and parascrobal area, antenna inserted on the ocular line, orange ventral metasoma extending dorsally above the midline of the gaster, weakly sculptured mesoscutellum with a broad median longitudinal declivity, and long ovipositor sheath. The propodeum is distinctive in possessing discontinuous submedian carinae and only two conspicuous anterior carinae. The gastral tail is the most strongly developed within the P. ravii sp. gp., with Mt 7 about 1.2–1.4 × as long as Mt 8 + 9. Together with P. paiwan sp. nov., it belongs to the subgroup characterized by strong facial sculpture, orange metasomal coloration and a sculptured mesoscutellum. It differs from P. paiwan sp. nov. by its weaker mesoscutellar sculpture, simplified propodeal ornementation, markedly longer ovipositor sheath (about 1.4–1.5 × versus 1.2 × metasomal length) and more elongate gastral tail (Mt 7 about 1.2–1.4 × versus 1.0–1.1 × the length of Mt 8 + 9). Although approaching P. minang sp. nov. in ovipositor length and tail development, it differs by the orange metasoma, sculptured face and mesoscutellum, and reduced propodeal carination. Male recognised by the triangularly emarginate clypeal margin, long malar space (0.5–0.8 × eye height), long temples (3.3–4.0 × eye height), 4 - segmented funicle with a 3 - segmented clava, and pronotum only moderately longer than the mesonotum + metanotum (1.1–1.6 ×). Closest to P. paiwan sp. nov., but differing by the shorter pronotum, smaller eyes (eye length only 0.5–0.6 × eye height), and less elongate mesonotum relative to propodeum.</p><p>Female.

All type specimens deposited at CBGP, Montpellier.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Female recognised by the weakly sculptured lower face and parascrobal area, antenna inserted above the ocular line, slightly convex clypeal margin, smooth mesoscutellum, dark ventral metasoma, and strongly developed gastral tail. The ovipositor sheath is remarkably long, about 1.3–1.5 × metasomal length, and Mt 7 is about 0.9–1.4 × as long as Mt 8 + 9. The propodeum bears complete submedian carinae and four conspicuous anterior carinae. It belongs to the dark-bodied subgroup (with P. ravii, P. minang sp. nov., P. bannaensis sp. nov.) sharing a smooth mesoscutellum and weak facial sculpture, but differs from P. ravii and P. bannaensis sp. nov. by its much longer ovipositor sheath (about 1.3–1.5 × versus less than metasomal length) and more strongly developed gastral tail (Mt 7 about 0.9–1.4 × versus 0.8 × and 1.0 × the length of Mt 8 + 9, respectively). Although approaching P. arfak sp. nov. in ovipositor length and tail development, it differs by the dark ventral metasoma, smooth mesoscutellum, weak facial sculpture and complete propodeal carination. Male recognised by the elongate head (longer than broad), very long vertex setae, 5 - segmented funicle with subdivided clava, and extremely elongate pronotum, nearly twice as long as the fused meso- and metanotum.

Body predominantly yellowish-brown, head and pronotum conspicuously darker, brown, mesonotum lighter. Mandible dark brown; antenna whitish, scape light brown (Fig. 6 E). Tibia of all legs brown (Fig. 6 F).</p><p>Head. In frontal view slightly transverse to subquadrate (Fig. 6 E), 0.89–0.99 × as long as wide with 7–10 medium-sized setae on vertex. Clypeal margin conspicuously emarginate (Fig. 6 E).
