Diagnosis. Although very similar in general appearance to the two new species here described, P. davidiani can be easily differentiated from both of them by its more elongate body, its relatively lenghtened subparallel-sided pronotum, and relatively long elytra subparallel-sided on basal 2/3, and bearing larger and sharper granules on elytral intervals.

Distribution. China (Sichuan; Fig. 44 View Figures 44 ).
