72 e. J. GAHAN 



Elytra each with a distinct tubercle at the base, the tubercle 

 having blackish brown hairs at its summit. About three costae 

 are with difficulty to be distinguished on the intermediate third 

 of each elytron, the innermost costa only, which is the shortest 

 being at all distinct. On the disk of each elytron there is a small 

 greyish area from whicli two ashy-white bands or patches pass 

 off — one running obliquely outwards to reach the margin just 

 below the shoulder, the other at first passing slightly backwards 

 runs then in a nearly transverse direction to the outer margin. 



This species has some resemblance , in its mixed pubescence 

 and general outline, to P. annulata, Chevr. and P. scopulifera, 

 Pasc. ; but may be easily distinguished by the very distinct 

 tufted tubercle or crest at the base of each elytron.

Shvvegoo in Upper Burma. One example. 



Clothed with a pubescence of somewhat mixed colours, the 

 prevailing tint being a light chocolate brown. The disk and the 

 posterior declivous portion of the elytra are more greyish or 

 fulvous. The prothorax is entirely impunctate, unless some dark 

 brown minute rounded spots mark out the position of some 

 feeble punctures. The elytra are thickly and strongly punctured; 

 each has a basal cariniform tubercle, a short prominent carina 

 extending along the disk in the intermediate third of the length 

 of the elytra , and ending just where the posterior declivity 

 begins, and a slightly raised line external to this carina, ex- 

 tending a little beyond it behind, while in front its course may 

 be traced up to the base. Between the basal tubercle and the 

 anterior extremity of the carina which lies nearly in the same 

 line with it, there is a shallow and somewhat oblique depression" 

 on each elytron.
