Diagnosis. Body length 8.7–10.2 mm. Dorsal side metallic with yellow patch. Pronotum bicolor, center area dark, lateral areas completely yellow, without spot. Elytra metallic blue to bluish-purple, apex with a very narrow yellowish patch. Tergum and sternum VII similar with those in P. amplicollis , yellowish pattern on sternum VII sometimes reduced to a pair of small spots near sternum base. Pronotal lateral margins curved near middle, straight before hind angles, hind angles fully rounded. Elytral striae with distinct puncture rows; the third interval with two setigerous pores; the fifth with only one near base.

Male genitalia ( Fig. 36 ). Median lobe of aedeagus gently slender, distinctly bent to right side in dorsal view, right margin weakly sinuate before apex; apical lamella large, rounded apically, about oviform in lateral view, its length about 1.5 times as the basal width. Internal sac with main flagellum not reaching the apical orifice; secondary flagellum long and distinctly sclerotized, length about 0.6 times as the main flagellum; trumpet-form expansion small, length about 0.3 times as the main flagellum; apical bursa present.

Female genitalia. Not studied.
