Figs. 25, 26, 107
This species can be distinguished by the double keel or carinae of tergum X (Fig. 25B). The forewing pattern is similar to that of P. elegans and lituratus and maculatus, but in P. bicarinatus the setae forming the pattern are bright white, forming a crescent­shaped proximal band, in contrast to the ivory­yellow setae and the V­shaped proximal band of the other three species.
Adult. Forewing length 9­9.9 mm, n = 28.
Head chestnut brown. Maxillary palps dark brown. Antenna twice forewing length; dark brown, with narrow patches of pale sensilla on anteromesal surface of each flagellomere. Dorsal pterothorax chestnut brown; ventrolateral thorax golden brown. Femora golden brown; foretibiae dark brown; mesotibiae dark brown; metatibiae dark brown; foretarsi chestnut brown; mesotarsi dark brown; metatarsi dark brown. Metathoracic leg of male with posterior fringe of long setae, setae dark. Tibial spur formula 2,4,4. Forewing flat; black; with two transverse bands; proximal band white, extending from anterior to posterior wing margin; distal band white, beginning at anterior wing margin, at least 1/2 width of wing, widest and densest anteriorly; with single basal stripe, white (Fig. 107). Hind wing basal brush present in male, dark brown.
Male. Preterminalic abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Corematic structures absent, terga III­V unmodified, without membranous lobes or sclerotized processes. Sternum VII with short, acute anteromesal process. Sternum VIII enclosing base of elongate sternum IX; posteromesal process notched, notch deep and round (Fig. 25A, C). Tergum IX without mesal ridge; posterior margin smoothly rounded; thinly sclerotized anteromesally (Fig. 25B); lateral ridge present; dorsal pleural setae approximately 8, ventral pleural setae absent (Fig. 25A). Preanal appendage less than 2/3 length of tergum X, narrowly elliptic, setae long, but not filamentous or longer than appendage (Fig. 25A, B). Tergum X without basal lobes; basodorsal process short and bifid; basolateral processes short, length less than or equal to diameter; apex, in lateral view, rounded, in dorsal view, notched, notch shallow; with paired mesal carinae (Fig. 25A, B). Harpago slightly tapered; peglike setae few, apical (Fig. 25A, C). Phallic endotheca with paired basolateral lobes, basolateral lobes tapered apically; phallotremal sclerites average size, longest dimension less than diameter of phallobase; dorsal sclerite ovoid, in dorsal view horseshoe­shaped (Fig. 25D, E).
Female. Preterminal abdominal terga with anteromesal notch. Sternum VII with short pointed anteromesal process. Tergum VIII without posterolateral brush; sternum VIII posterior margin entire; sternum VIII (Fig. 26C). Tergum IX with very short mesal ridge (Fig. 26B). Sternum IX anterior and posterior lobes darkly sclerotized and striate, with patch of lightly sclerotized cuticle lateral to vaginal opening (Fig. 26A). Tergum X appendage shorter than mesal lobe, base indistinct, apex oblique; mesal lobe lightly sclerotized; digitate lateral processes long, at least twice diameter and often asymmetrical (Fig. 26B). Sternum X with patches of short fine setae posterolaterally to anal opening (Fig. 26A). Vaginal apparatus anterior and posterior sclerites equal in length; anterior sclerite truncate anteriorly, posterolateral projections absent; posterior sclerite ovoid (Fig. 26A).

Distribution. Bolivia, Peru.
Etymology. Bicarinatus, from the Latin bi­, “two” and carinatus, “keeled,” referring to the double keel of tergum X.
