Supplementary description.

Male. The body is indigo-black, with sparse, fine, yellow hairs on the pronotum (Fig. 2 C View Figure 2 ). The surface of the legs is sepia-colored. The posterior lateral angles of the pronotum have a notch. The hind and middle legs lack spines along the posterior margin of the femur and the base.

Diagnosis.

The male of this species is similar to P. ( P.) aerea ( Bey-Bienko, 1958) , which also has fine yellow hair on the pronotum. However, it can be distinguished by its indigo-black body surface, the notched posterior lateral angles of the pronotum, and weakly bifurcate terminal part of the hook-apex sclerite. The females of this species can be easily distinguished from P. ( P.) aerea by the rough dorsal surface and their pit formula, [5, 6 or 7] in P. ( P.) sculpta and [1 or 2] in P. ( P.) aerea .
