Mesoscutum (Fig. 6 C View Figure 6 ) with conspicuous reticulate sculpture. Forewing discal setae (Fig. 6 D View Figure 6 ) originating at the lower part of the stigmal vein.

Comments.

This species is similar to P. ( Polynema) neofuscipes , both having the mesoscutum with distinctly reticulate sculpture, but in the latter, the reticulation is less pronounced. Metacoxa in lateral view of the former is shorter than the petiole, while that of the latter is as long as the petiole.
