 than P. fossifrons, with the sides of the thorax less sinuate near 

 the base, with the legs red instead of brownish-black; the elytral

Mammoth Cave, Kentucky; Mr. J. Ph. Wild. This species is 

 much smaller than A. tellkampjii, and is readily recognized by the 

 prominent hind angles of the thorax and by the elytra being much 

 less obliquely rounded at base and more deeply striate.
