Remarks

P. namkyensis Sigwalt, 1978 is similar to P. hawaiiensis (Ashmead, 1901) due to having similar colouration of the body and hind femur. However, P. namkyensis Sigwalt, 1978 can be distinguished from P. hawaiiensis (Ashmead, 1901) by metasoma narrowing to apex and widest at basal half (metasoma symmetrically-shaped and position of maximum width in middle in the latter), temple without two brown spots behind eye (with two brown spots behind eye in the latter), antenna of ♀ comparatively slender (widened medially in the latter), scapus and pedicellus in lateral view ivory and distinctly contrasting with dark brown flagellum (scapus and pedicellus in lateral view dark brown and no contrasting with dark brown flagellum in the latter).
