This is a very fine and unusually large species sent to me by 

 Mr. F. P. Dodd, after whom I liave much pleasure in naming it. It 

 is somewhat allied to P. pundlcoUis Eaffr., but differs in many points, 

 notably in the form of the protliorax and hind tibiae (see RafEray, 

 Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1900, p. 224, pi. X, fig. 37 ; Gen. Insectorum, 

 pl. 6, fig. 2).
