Pronotum with a pair of triangular black markings on anterior margin. Rostrum parallel-sided apically. Aedeagal process longer than half length of shaft. Aedeagal dorsal apodeme undeveloped. Aedeagal preatrium broadened basally. Gonopore subapical.
Description: Length (including wings): male 3.4 mm.
Crown with black spot on either side of midline ( Fig. 9C). Pronotum with pair of black triangular markings on anterior margin ( Fig. 9C). Face without seta adjacent to corresponding eye; rostrum short, not reaching hind coxae, parallel-sided apically.
Male abdomen with large tergal apodemes, length as long as two segments, separated mesally by a V-shaped notch; sternal apodemes small, less than one segment long ( Fig. 18B, C).
Male genitalia: Pygofer with rounded caudal margin; inner process arising from base of ventral margin, apex curved mesad. Subgenital plate with dense, long and fine setae on dorsal margin, few fine setae on ventral margin ( Fig. 18A). Aedeagus with a pair of basal processes on ventral surface, length longer than half of shaft; preatrium broadened basally in ventral and lateral view, slender medially; dorsal apodeme undeveloped ( Fig. 18E, F).
Material examined: Holotype: ♂, China, Yunnan Province, Dali, Yangbi, Yangjiang , 17 June 2013, coll. Qingquan Xue ( NWAFU).
Etymology: The specific epithet, a Latin adjective, refers to the elongate aedeagal process.
Remarks: The new species seems to have close affinities with P. introflexus and P. triangulus (see below) based on the similar body colour, but it can be distinguished from these two species by the aedeagal process longer than half the length of the shaft and undeveloped dorsal apodeme.
