Summary

Description
English: Adult length 4.5-6.0mm. This robust, brownish-black to black nitidulid is unlikely to be mistaken for any other member of the family, but might at first glance be taken for a histerid beetle, and this was presumably the inspiration for the specific epithet. The prominent, posteriorly projecting prosternal process, deeply bilobed labrum, and shiny non-pubescent dorsal surface of the body will distinguish the genus from others if any doubt exists (Habeck 2002). The solid black colouration (lighter on some specimens, perhaps tenerals) and slightly smaller size distinguish it from its otherwise similar congener P. nigripennis,
