Diagnosis
This species is close to P. andamanensis but differs from it in having an elongate A1 and T2. T3–T6 are clearly visible with punctate sculpture.

Metasoma. (L: W=74.9:26.5); T1 with basal foveae followed by a narrow smooth patch posterior to which a median band of longitudinal foveae present; T1 posteriorly and laterally smooth; T2 with basal foveae followed by longitudinal costae; remaining tergites finely punctate; posterior margin of T2 straight; T1 with two lateral and one sublateral setae; T2 3.8× the length of T1.
Male. Not known.
Etymology
The species is named after the Chalukya dynasty that ruled between the 6th and the 12th centuries CE, and in their heyday ruled most of peninsular India. The name is treated as a noun in apposition.
