genus; first joint large and bent, second and third of about 

 tlie same length, fourth to seventh about equal, the eighth about 

 as long as the sixth and seventh together, cylindrical and 

 distinctly broader, but not laterally compressed as in West- 

 wood's two species (longicollis and nitidus), the apical joint 

 abruptly truncate, the apical field thickly covered by very 

 short yellow pubescence. Prothorax elongate and narrow, 

 much longer than broad, at the anterior margin slightly ele- 

 vated, distinctly longitudinally strigose, slightly transversely 

 depressed near base, with fine hairs all över and small scat- 

 tered punctures here and there, on each side a fairly deep

fovea. Legs moderately long. Elytraelongate-ovate, constricted 

 near base on each side with four deep impressions, with very 

 fine lines of punctures and thin and yellow hairs, shiny; 

 middle of sterna and basal segment of abdomen covered by 

 black golden pubescence. 



Length of body: 3 mm. 



One single specimen taken at Noonkanbah in the interiör 

 of the Kimberley District, January 1911. 



The species approaches closely to Lea's P. castaneiis, but 

 is easily distinguished by the shape of the antennse, by the long 

 prothorax and the hairy elytra. Lea states definitely that 

 his species has the elytra glabrous. According to Westwood's 

 figure of P. nitidus, this species is hairy although the de- 

 scription says: »elytris glabris . . .»
