Host

Unknown.

Distribution

China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Zhejiang), United States.

Remarks

The holotype (USNM ENT00809804) is recognised from photos on the USNM website and from the redescription by Zettel (1989). There are twenty females agreeing with the description of P. hawaiiensis except for body length (2.5 mm vs 3.0– 3.2 mm for the types) and the metasomal carapace colouration (some females yellow and with six brownish spots vs yellow except lateral border of second tergite and third tergites brown in the types). There are four males agreeing with the description of P. hawaiiensis .
