Diagnosis.

The species is widely distributed in South China, and its detailed distributional information will be listed in a forthcoming paper by Qing-Hao Zhao. In general appearance, the species is similar to P. plagiicollis ( Fairmaire, 1891) which overlaps in distribution. Yet, P. marmorellus can be easily distinguished from the latter by bearing pale appressed microsetae on the forebody, which are absent in P. plagiicollis .

Distribution.

China (Hainan), Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia. New to China.
