Soin3what resembles P. insolens; Its most striking character 

 consists in the structure of the epipleurie; in most Paropses these 

 (as noted above) consist of an inner horizontal ledge and an ex- 

 ternal almost vertical piece, but in the present species (and even 

 more markedly in P. iasolens) the two pieces are narrow and 

 scarcely distinct inter se and form an almost evenly continuous 

 svirface outturned so as to be obliquely subhorizontal.
