The insect for which I propose this name is not unlike P. jnil- 



verulenta, but without dark markings on its elytra; also it is 



evidently less convex, Avith notably shorter antennte (some of the 



joints of which are scarcely longer than wide); the basal joint of 



the antennse is much shorter than in pidverulenta. The basal 



joint of the anterior tarsi of the male is considerably more dilated 



than in _P. si/bsfriafa, Clip., and the seriate punctures of the 



elytra run evidently less symmetrically than in that species, a 



good many of them being more or less out of line with the rest. 



I have seen only a single specimen.

This little species (long. l|-lf lines) is notable among its 

 immediate allies for the granulation of its eyes, which is (not 

 coarser but) more asperate, the individual facets being less flat. 

 Its colour is uniformly testaceous or pale brown except the apical 

 part of the antenme, which is infuscate, and some small infuscate 

 blotches on the elytral interstices which fall into two transverse 

 lines, one subbasal, the other postmedian. The antenna? are 

 like those of P. Clio. I have not a specimen named by Dr. 

 Chapuis, but feel no doubt of the correctness of my identification. 

 The species is found in Queensland and Northern N.S. Wales.
