latum ; prothorax ante medium paullum ampliatus, postice sub- 

 diagonalis, basi leviter sinuatus, longitudine tertio latior, basi apice 

 latitudine adaequans, angulis anticis acutis prominulis, posticis rectis, 

 supra convexus medio late profundeque punctatus, ad latera fere 

 fossulatus, intra basim bi-impressus, margine lateral! acuta, reflexa, 

 leviter serrulata; elytra elongata, oblongo ovalia, basi prothorace 

 baud latiora, medio parum ampliata, prothorace triple longiora,

 deplanata ; pedes breves, sub-validi, rugosi. Long. 30 mm. ; lat.

Not unlike in general appearance P. badeni, Haag ; but the 

 prothorax is not so parallel ; the elytra are a little more oblong, and 

 the sculpture differs.
