Mouthparts of P. kuandianensis View in CoL

The labrum bears two pairs of prominent setae apically. The epipharynx is furnished with various types of sensilla arranged symmetrically ( Fig. 7a–c View Fig ), a pattern similar to those of B. planus and P. liui . The sensilla basiconica are remarkably prominent and exposed on the apical epipharynx, longer than most of the microtrichia. The microtrichia are relatively short and sparse, mostly present on the lateral part of the epipharynx, but absent on the central part and the basal triangular plate.

The mandible has two distal cusps on the incisor region and is remarkably glabrous on the molar region, without molar teeth or spines ( Fig. 7d–f View Fig ). The mandible has three long sensilla trichodea laterally and a hair brush tuft on the baso-mesal corner.

The maxilla bears eight sensilla chaetica on the ventral surface ( Fig. 8a View Fig ), arranged in a similar pattern but more prominent (longer than apical segment of the maxillary palp) than those of B. planus and P. liui . The galea bears a sensillum basiconicum apically ( Fig. 8b, c View Fig : sb), a palmate sensillum centrally ( Fig. 8b, d View Fig : ps), and a pair of sensilla campaniformia proximally on the dorsal surface ( Fig. 8b, e View Fig : sco). The lacinia is glabrous on the mesal surface ( Fig. 8b View Fig ). The maxillary palp bears 13 sensilla basiconica apically ( Fig. 8f View Fig ).

The labium is stout and bears a pair of two-segmented labial palpi with the two palpomeres equal in length ( Fig. 8a View Fig : lp). The labial palp has ten sensilla basiconica apically, eight normal and two papillary ones ( Fig. 8g View Fig ). The glabrous prementum is also mesally divided by the salivary orifice ( Fig. 8h View Fig : so).
