Type material.
Holotype • ♀ (NIBR), South Korea, Mt. Kalbong, Gyeongban-ri, Gapyeong-eup, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, 37°51'10.9"N, 127°26'27.4"E, 05.VI.2020, Sohn. GenBank accession no. PP 587252.
Comparative diagnosis.
This new species is close to P. micula Belokobylskij, 1998, because of sharing width of the first flagellomere (3.0–3.5 × in P. micula), deep and smooth notauli and width of the first tergite. However, the new species has the metanotum not protruding (tooth-like protruding in P. micula) (Fig. 3 G), upper tooth of mandible separated from middle tooth (not separated in P. micula), lower tooth of mandible angulate (rounded in P. micula), hind tibia partly erect setose (Fig. 3 A), width of head 1.7 × greater than its median length (2.0–2.2 × in P. micula), second flagellomere 2.0 × longer than first flagellomere (1.5–1.6 × in P. micula).
Description.
Holotype, ♀, body 2.8 mm in lateral view, fore wing 2.7 mm, ovipositor sheath 1.3 mm, antenna 3.8 mm (but apical parts missing).
Head: Width of head 1.7 × its median length in dorsal view (Fig. 3 D). Antenna with 23 antennomeres (but apical parts missing), first flagellomere 2.9 × longer than wide (Fig. 3 K), second flagellomere 2.0 × longer than first and 7.3 × longer than wide. Medial antennal segments 2.5 × longer than wide. Eye slightly oval, in lateral view 1.2 × as long as wide. Minimum width of face (Fig. 3 E) 1.6 × its height; face setose, upper part of clypeus rugose. Eye in dorsal view 1.6 × as long as temple. Ocello-ocular line (OOL) 4.8 × longer than diameter of anterior ocellus; OOL: antero-posterior ocellar line (AOL): postero-ocellar line (POL) = 14: 3: 4. Vertex smooth and glabrous, with distinct longitudinal groove. Width of clypeus 2.6 × its maximum length. Mandible (Fig. 3 L) 1.4 × longer than wide, wide with first tooth curved upward and separated from second tooth, second tooth robust, 1.1 × longer than first tooth, tip of second tooth dark brown; third tooth as long as first tooth, not protruding and angulate apically, carina on third tooth distinct.
Mesosoma: In dorsal view mesosoma 2.0 × longer than wide and 1.4 × longer than high in lateral view. Mesoscutum (Fig. 3 F) with small and round medio-posterior depression and glabrous; notauli distinctly impressed, almost reaching medio-posterior depression; mesoscutum without setae; scutellar sulcus with one carina; apical part of metapleuron with setae, posterior mesopleuron groove sculptured. Precoxal sulcus distinct, reaching at anterior and posterior edge of mesopleuron. Maximum length of propodeum (Fig. 3 F) 0.8 × its width longitudinal carina present on half of propodeum, posterior part of propodeum with areola, reaching up to half of propodeum. In lateral view metanotum obtuse curved medio-dorsally (Fig. 3 G). Fore wing (Fig. 3 C) 2.3 × as long as wide; pterostigma widened medially 4.5 × longer than wide; vein r of fore wing 1.3 × longer than wide; vein SR 1 2.1 × longer than vein 3 - SR; vein 3 - SR 1.2 × longer than 2 - SR; second submarginal 2.1 × longer than its medium length; 3 - SR: r: SR 1 = 11: 1: 25; first discal cell of fore wing ~ 1.3 × longer medially than wide. Hind wing: vein M + CU + 1 - M: vein 1 r-m = 3: 1.
Leg: Hind femur 5.7 × longer than wide and 0.8 × as long as hind tibia; hind tibia 10 × longer than wide and setae erect except basally (Fig. 3 A); hind tibia as long as hind tarsus.
Metasoma: First tergite (Fig. 3 H) medially rugose and as long as its apical width. Setose part of ovipositor sheath 1.2 × longer than mesosoma (Fig. 3 I) and 1.4 × longer than hind tibia.
Color: Body (Fig. 3 A) black; metasoma and antenna dark brown; legs reddish brown.
