( Figs. 58a–g View FIGURE 58 ; 59a–h View FIGURE 59 )
Diagnosis. Both sexes of this species are characterised by their elongate face, which is unique within this species-group (in P.sabinae the face is only slightly elongate).

Integument black except mandibles sometimes partly reddishbrown. Face shiny and with loose, greyish, erect hairs. Mandibles bidentate. Clypeus and supraclypeal area convex in profile. Clypeus finely and sparsely punctate; surface polished. Clypeoantennal distance 0,5mm. Supraclypeal area with a few small punctures; punctures well separated; surface polished. Paraocular area sparsely punctate; surface polished. Antennae brownish-black. Mesosoma. L = 1,0– 1,2mm; W (ITS) = 1,1–1,2mm. Integument black. Scutum polished; surface sometimes partly chagreened anteriorly; disc moderately densely punctate (i = 1,5d) ( Fig. 58b View FIGURE 58 ). Scutellum as illustrated in Fig. 58c View FIGURE 58 . Scutum, scutellum, metanotum, mesepisternum and propodeum with whitish to greyish, erect hairs. Basal area of propodeum as illustrated in Fig. 58c View FIGURE 58 ; propodeum and marginal region of posterior truncation shiny and completely reticulate.
Wings. Hyaline. Legs. Integument brownish. Vestiture mostly greyish. Ts coarsely serrate; with 5–6 long and broad, oblique projections ( Fig. 58f View FIGURE 58 ). Bp as illustrated ( Fig. 58g View FIGURE 58 ). Metasoma. L = 2,7–3,0mm; W = 1,7–1,9mm.
