on upper surface. Nitid, upper surface dark olive green ; under 

 surface bronzed black, subnietallic ; antennae palpi and tarsi 

 reddish. 



" Head moderate (.3.25 mm. across eyes), convex ; front with 

 a well-marked, wide foveiform impression on each side just be- 

 hind clypeal seta. Frothorax laevigate, convex (subdepressed 

 along median line), cordate (3.8 x 4.3 mm.) ; base (2.8 mm.) 

 narrower than apex (3.4mm.) ; basai angles maa-ked, a little 

 obtuse ; border subsinuate just before basal angles, obsolete on 

 middle of base ; median line strongly impressed, a wide, shaJlow, 

 transverse impression at posterior extremity of median line. 

 Elytra oval (8.5 x 5.3 mm.), widest behind middle, lightly 

 narrowed to base, Avidely rounded at apex ; humeral angles 

 marked, a little distant from peduncle ; striae very faint on 

 disc, obsolete on sides. Legs light ; posterior femora narrow. 



Length 15, breadth 5.3 mm. 



" This fine species is at once differentiated from P. gibbosus 

 Gray, by the round foveiform lateral impressions of the ventral 

 segments. The form of these foveae associates it with Cas- 

 telnau's species, P. nigricornis, P. striato-punctatus, and P. mari- 

 timis, from Victoria, and all unknowm to me in nature- From 

 P. maritimis it is evidently distinct, if only by the spongiose 

 tissue of the anterior joints of the tarsi extending on to the 

 outer side of the joints, and of the intermediate tarsi unusually 

 well developed ; from P. nigricornis and P. striato-punctatus it 

 seems to differ by its less convex elytra^ (less convex than in 

 P. gibbosus, not more so, as said by Putzeys of P. nigricornis), 

 antennae reddish, etc."
