Comments.

These two males can be readily identified as P. nomurai by the characteristic form of the male antennal club, the apically broadened metaventral processes, and the aedeagus with an extended, apically truncate median lobe. In comparison to that of the type locality, the Wanchaoshan population has the inner apical margin of male antennomere 10 being greatly protruding to level above the mesal projection of antennomere 9.
