Diagnosis
This species is close to P. satavahana sp. nov. but differs from it in having entirely coriaceous reticulate mesoscutum and fore wing >6× as long as wide while in P. satavahana sp. nov. striae on T2 culminate in reticulations, and fore wing is <4× as long as wide.

Metasoma. (L: W=37.6:22.1); T1 with longitudinal foveae, laterally and posteriorly smooth; T2 anteromedially smooth, basal foveae present, followed by several longitudinal striae culminating in weak punctae; remaining tergites weakly punctate to smooth; posterior margin of T2 slightly convex; T1 with two lateral and one sublateral setae; T2 4.3× the length of T1.
Male. Not known.
Etymology
This species is named after the Kakatiya dynasty that flourished in parts of what is today Andhra Pradesh in the 12th century CE. The name is treated as a noun in apposition.
