Diagnosis

Third tergite of metasoma 1.4 × as long as second tergite, distinctly convex medio-posteriorly in dorsal view ( Fig. 26G ); hypopygium apically with medium-sized and robust protuberance ( Fig. 26H ); ovipositor sheath normal, not needle-shaped; clypeus with three large and robust teeth medio-ventrally ( Fig. 26D ); head rather emarginate medio-posteriorly; face semi-circularly rugose; penultimate antennal segment of female as long as wide in lateral view ( Fig. 26J ); eye medium-sized, eye 1.4 times temple in dorsal view; second metasomal suture rather curved; lower tooth of mandible small and robust ( Fig. 26K ); five subapical antennal segments of female small and moniliform ( Fig. 26J ); hind tibia usually with faint brownish subbasal patch and widened medially ( Fig. 26I ); vein 1-CU1 of fore wing 0.5–0.6 × as long as vein 2-CU1 ( Fig. 26E ). Note. The interpretation of P. producta is based on the original description (including a schematic drawing of the metasoma).
