Description
Female body length: 1.15–1.16 mm (n = 2). Coloration of head, female: concolorous with mesosoma. Shape of dorsal interantennal process: apically bilobed. Length of interantennal process: longer than radicle. Hyperoccipital carina: indicated as lateral tubercles; raised between lateral ocelli; sunken between lateral ocelli. Frontal ledge: present. Preocellar depressions: absent. Setation of pronotal cervical sulcus: absent. Setation of cervical pronotal area: present. Sculpture of pronotal shoulders: reticulate. Sculpture of anterior margin of pronotal shoulders: carinate. Posterolateral margin of pronotal shoulders: sharply angled. Posterior margin of pronotal shoulders: rounded. Antero-admedian line: absent. Anterior admedian depression or pit: absent. Parapsidial line: absent. Median mesoscutal line: absent. Notaulus: absent. Coloration of mesoscutum: concolorous with pronotum. Shape of mesoscutum in lateral view: flat to slightly convex. Scupture of mesoscutum: reticulate. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: absent. Setation of anterodorsal metapleuron: present. Length of setation of anterodorsal metapleuron: long. Setation of anteroventral metapleuron: present. Length of setation of anteroventral metapleuron: short. Foamy structures on anterior metapleuron: absent. Shape of fore wing: elliptical. Infuscate banding of fore wing: present. Costal margin of hind wing: darkly sclerotized posterior to hamuli. Marginal cilia of female fore wing: present.
Diagnosis
Pulchrisolia maculata is identifiable by the absence of an antero-admedian depression, posterolateral corners of the pronotal shoulders that are remote from the tegula, and the anteroventral margin of the metapleuron that is glabrous or sparsely setose.

Material examined
Holotype, female: TANZANIA: Mara Reg., Shirati, V-1909, Katona, Hym. Typ. No. 9583 Mus. Budapest (deposited in HNHM). Other material: (6 females) KENYA: 3 females, OSUC 697903, 697951 (OSUC); USNMENT01448452 (USNM). TANZANIA: 3 females, HYM-P019793, P020252, P020261 (SAMC).
Comments
The holotype female is in relatively good condition despite being covered in debris, a result of the method used by Szabó to mount and examine specimens. Additional material collected in Kenya and Tanzania were found to be conspecific with P. maculata.
