Description. Male holotype. Length 2.4 mm, width 2.0 mm; body oval, elytron with side rounded, wider than pronotal base, widest at middle of elytra. Dorsal surface shiny except elytron with trace of microsculpture. Color black (Fig. 423); head yellow with base of frons and vertex black, yellow area with pronounced, brighter yellow vitta on lateral margin (Fig. 425); pronotum reddish yellow with median 1/ 3 dark brown; elytra with green tint, lateral margin reddish; antenna, mouthparts, legs yellow; Epipleuron brownish red; ventral surface dark brown; abdomen yellow except basal ventrite yellowish brown. Head punctures small, separated by a diameter or less; pronotal punctures as large as on head, separated by a diameter or less; elytral punctures larger than on pronotum, separated by less than twice a diameter; prosternal punctures large, sparse, separated by 1 to 3 times a diameter; mesosternal, metasternal punctures larger than on prosternum, separated by less than 3 times a diameter; abdomen with punctures on ventrites 1–3 smaller than on metasternum, separated by less than 3 times a diameter, punctures on remaining ventrites smaller, separated by about a diameter. Head with frons widened from vertex to clypeus, about as wide as eye measured at vertex; eye canthus short; apical maxillary palpomere long, strongly widened from base to apex. Pronotum widest at base, reflexed lateral margin narrow, equal in width from base to apex. Epipleuron nearly flat, slightly descending externally, wide in basal ½, as wide as pronotal hypomeron. Prosternum as wide as long, as long as mesosternum, base weakly arcuate, lateral carina slender, long, extended slightly beyond coxa. Postcoxal line on ventrite 1 long, angulate, extended nearly to ventrite apex (Fig. 424). Apex of ventrite 5 very slightly arcuate. Genitalia with basal lobe longer than paramere, slender, widest at base, narrowed from base to emarginate apex; paramere weakly curved, slender, narrowed from base to pointed apex, without marginal serrations (Fig. 426, 427); sipho lost.

Type material. Holotype male; BRAZIL: JUNDIAL DO SUL – PR, Fazenda Monte Verde, 22.IX.1986, Lev. Ent. PROFAUPAR MALAISE. (DZUP).

Remarks. This species has male genitalia closely similar to those of P. cora and P. faye, but is separated from those taxa by dorsal color pattern and male head comparatively narrow and distinctly patterned. Prosternal structure is most similar to that of P. cora, but the lateral carina do not extend to the prosternal base.
