Comparisons. P. sulawesiensis is distinguishable from the other four species in this species group by the combination of: basal three antennomeres yellow; elytra sutural angles sharply pointed, forming long spines; outer apical angles almost rounded; female sternite VII strongly projected at middle. This species is most similar to P. testacea. Comparison between them was provided under the latter species.
Description. Body length 10.4–10.8 mm. Dorsum pale yellow; antennomeres 1 to 3 reddish yellow, basal third of antennomere 4 reddish yellow, remainder of antennae black; apices of mandibles black; terminal labial palpomere black, terminal and penultimate maxillary palpomeres black; tarsomeres black, in strong contrast with yellowish brown tibiae; venter pale yellow. Pronotum strongly transverse, PW/PL = 1.65–1.71, much wider than head, PW/ HW = 1.14–1.22; widest at anterior third, lateral explanations very wide. Elytra with faint isodiametric microsculpture on apical third; striae not incised, with rows of fine punctures; intervals completely flat, with punctures slightly finer and much sparser than in striae; disc depressed near middle of intervals 3 to 6, depressions large and shallow; apical truncation distinct, nearly straight, outer apical angles almost rounded, not forming distinct angles; sutural angles sharply pointed, forming long spines. Apex of abdominal sternite VII nearly straight in males, strongly projected at middle in females (Fig. 8B). Median lobe of aedeagus with dorsal margin curved before apical orifice, and then narrowed to apex; apical lamella subrectangular, more or less bent to dorsum, length slightly greater than its basal width (L/W = 1.3), apex slightly truncate. Endophallus very coarsely scaled on basal sheath, base of apical sheath discoid in dorsal view; squamate sac hardly divided, on basal fifth of median lobe, right to squamate sheath (Fig. 23). Gonocoxite II of ovipositor dichotomous, inner branch with two ensiform setae apically, outer branch with two or three ensiform setae apically (Fig. 11 β).
Distribution (Map 4, green). Only known from Sulawesi, including Selayar Island.
