Type material.

Holotype • ♀ ( NIBR), South Korea, Mt. Odae , Jinbu-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, 37°45'54.7"N, 128°34'13.8"E, 15.IX.2020, Ju-Hyeong Sohn leg. GenBank accession no. PP 587250. GoogleMaps

Comparative diagnosis.

The new species is similar with P. telengai Belokobylskij, 1998 , but recognizable the third tooth distinctly and acutely protruding as the first one (only second tooth narrow and acute in P. telengai ), first flagellomere 4.2 × longer than wide (2.8–3.0 × in P. telengai ) and hind femur 4.2 × longer than wide (4.7–5.0 × in P. telengai ).

Description.

Holotype, ♀, body 2.8 mm in lateral view, fore wing 2.6 mm, ovipositor sheath 1.4 mm in lateral view, antenna 3.4 mm (apical part of antennae missing).

Head: Width of head 1.5 × its median length in dorsal view (Fig. 1 D View Figure 1 ). Antenna with 25 antennomeres (terminal antennomere missing), first flagellomere 4.2 × longer than wide (Fig. 1 K View Figure 1 ), second flagellomere 1.5 × longer than first antennomere and 5.2 × longer than wide. Medial antennal segments (18 th segment) 2.3 × longer than wide. Eye slightly oval, in lateral view 1.2 × as long as wide. Minimum width of face (Fig. 1 E View Figure 1 ) 1.2 × its height; face rugose with setose. Eye in dorsal view 1.8 × as long as temple. Ocello-ocular line ( OOL) 4.8 × longer than diameter of anterior ocellus; OOL: antero-posterior ocellar line ( AOL): postero-ocellar line ( POL) = 30: 7: 10. Vertex smooth and glabrous. Width of clypeus 2.3 × its maximum length. Mandible (Fig. 1 L View Figure 1 ) 1.8 × longer than wide, wide with first tooth curved; second tooth narrow and long, 1.2 × longer than first tooth, tip of second tooth reddish brown; third tooth (as first) distinctly acutely protruding; carina on third tooth distinct.

Mesosoma: In dorsal view mesosoma 2.2 × longer than wide 1.6 × longer than high in lateral view. Mesoscutum (Fig. 1 F View Figure 1 ) with small and round medio-posterior depression and glabrous; notauli impressed anteriorly, not reaching to medio-posterior depression; scutellar sulcus with one carina; apical part of mesopleuron and metapleuron without setae, posterior mesopleural groove sculpted. Precoxal sulcus distinct, reaching anterior and posterior edge of mesopleuron. Maximum length of propodeum (Fig. 1 F View Figure 1 ) 0.5 × as long as its width, largely sculpted; posterior part of propodeum with small areola, not reaching middle of propodeum. Metanotum not protruding medio-dorsally in lateral view (Fig. 1 G View Figure 1 ). Fore wing (Fig. 1 C View Figure 1 ) 2.6 × as long as wide; pterostigma widened medially 5.1 × longer than wide; vein r of fore wing 4.0 × longer than wide; vein SR 1 1.8 × longer than vein 3 - SR; vein 3 - SR 1.5 × longer than 2 - SR; second submarginal cell long and narrow, 2.7 × longer than its medium length; 3 - SR: r: SR 1 = 12: 3: 22; first discal cell of fore wing 0.8 × longer than wide in median length; first discal cell of fore wing 1.1 × as longer medially than wide. Hind wing: vein M + CU + 1 - M: vein 1 r-m = 4: 1.

Leg: Hind femur 4.2 × longer than wide and 0.7 × as long as hind tibia; hind tibia 11 × longer than wide; hind tibia as long as hind tarsus.

Metasoma: First tergite (Fig. 1 H View Figure 1 ) sparsely rugose, 1.5 × longer than its apical width. Setose part of ovipositor sheath (Fig. 1 I View Figure 1 ) 1.4 × longer than mesosoma and 1.9 × longer than hind tibia.

Color: Body (Fig. 1 A View Figure 1 ) dark brown, antenna dark brown, but anterior yellowish brown; metasoma dark brown; legs yellowish brown; first tergite brown.
