Lateral ocelli separated by 0.7-0.8X their widest diameter from each other and about 1.8-2.0X their widest diameter from eye margin. Antennae with 26-27 flagellomeres. pronotum and mesoscutum (1, 2) glabrous, impunctate. T1 about 1.5X as long as broad. head entirely pale yellowish. mesosoma and metasoma yellowish. Hind legs pale orange, with tarsomeres uniformly infuscate. fore wing hyaline, apex infumate. This species is most similar to P. claviger Zhaurova and P. castilloi Gauld in body sculpture and form of the clypeal margin. The head and body of P. bonillai are completely pale whereas P. castilloi has darker markings on the head and P. claviger has extensive dark markings on the head and body. The petiole is also much broader in P. bonillai.
