Hello Lorin,

The ovipositor is not opened up for dorsal and ventral views (see my example photo of P. rudis ovipositor attached to this reply), so it is complicated now. Tergites and sternites are missing in addition to this matter. All hope is not lost because you have the lateral sacs in tact. Do you still have the lateral sacs? and do you have the spermathecae?

I have an appointment in the morning, so i must sleep soon. I am telling you this because i will start from scratch with this species. I will rekey it to place it into a proper group, then continue from there. I think that it is of the rudis group and that means it should be angustigena or hungarica because of the golden hairs on the abdominal tergites and the femora 2 and 3. Again, All hope is not lost. I will examine all of this material and any additional photos of my requested lateral sacs and spermathecae. Then we will reach a species.

I will return tomorrow agternoon or evening.

Best wishes,
John
