The metapleuron completely covered in foamy structures and the rugose sculpture of the pronotal shoulders separates P. sanbornei from other species of Pulchrisolia.

Named in honor of the late Michael Sanborne (Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada) for his efforts during a field expedition to South Africa which yielded a long series of this beautiful species. The epithet is treated as a noun in the genitive case.
