I have never seen this species, and have therefore been 
compelled to draw the above description from Donovan's short 
specific character and figure; and, as that author remarks, it 
altogether differs in the formation of the terminal joint of 
the antenne from the other species, being entire, not exca- 
vated, and slightly beset with hairs. It appears to be allied to 
P. Linnai.
