Remarks. By their form of the gonostylus and small indistinct setose intercoxal lobe on the hypopygium, the new species is similar to P. gyracantha (Fig. 2) and the discussion is under the former species. Etymology. This species is named after the dorsal lobe on the gonostylus not visible in ventral view except its megasetae, from the Latin adjective hemicryptus, meaning half concealed.
