One example. This species is very dissimilar to any other yet known, but. may 
follow P. pulvis in the list. Below the arched transverse stria on the mesosternum is 
a second very fine stria in the form of an inverted arch; the latter may indicate the 
suture between the meso- and metasternum, but this is not certain. The first segment 
of the abdomen has a very well-marked stria on each side, but these striee terminate 
widely apart at the anterior as well as at the posterior suture.
