Material examined. 1♀: Amankutan, alpine meadow, 39°17'N, 66°54'E, 1600 m, 23.v.1989, M. Barták (CULSP).
Remarks. Similar to P. confiformis Chvála, which is known from northern Fennoscandia and the mountains of Central Europe (Chvála 1989). This unnamed species differs by the following features: postpedicel at least 3X longer than wide, stylus subequal in length; female sternite 8 swollen, much longer than corresponding tergite; postpronotum entirely microtrichose; katepisternum broadly microtrichose on anterior part, lustrous part V-shaped. This undescribed species cannot be described without associated males.
