The unique example of this insect differs from all its near allies 

 in its uniform ferruginous colour, even the elytral verruci« being 

 quite concolorous. It is very near verrucosa, Marsh., of which 

 (thanks to Mr. Masters !) I have seen the example in the old 

 Macleay collection (probably the type), Init differs from it (apart 

 from colour) by the considerably finer puncturation of its elytra and 

 the presence of a well marked transverse postbasal impression on 

 the same which is from a certain point of view limited behind as 

 in P. versnta. It is also to be noted that the intermediate verrucse 

 of the prothorax are distinctly (though not strongly) manifest in 

 this species.
