The mandibles resemble those of I'. siHiillitnus and I', rrihireps, but the head is much 

 narrower than in the>e species, and the «entral tubercle is set much further back than in 

 the latter, lM*ing if anything somewhat further fnuu the inner tuberele.s than th?.se are from 

 each other. The frontal ritlges are absent except closi* to the i-entral tubercle, where thev 

 are directetl .straight towards the inner tubercle.s. The scutellum is strongly punctured on 

 either side of a broad median band. The mcsosterniim resembles that of I' simillimus, 

 but has fewer punctures. The grooves «»f the elytra are very strongly punctured. The 

 middle and posterior tibiae have no spines before th" end. In other respects this s[)ecie.s 

 re.sembles I', itimilliwus.

\'itiirnis hull' i,u- is very like T'. cvphalotus, but is smaller, has three well ileveloped 

 terminal teeth on both mandibles, has very few punctures on the .scutellum and the matt 

 parts of the mesothoracic episterna. has hair-bearing punctures on either side of the middle 

 line of the mesosternum as well as in front and at the sides and .sometimes difTusetl over 

 other parts, the middle line being matt narrowly or not at all. an<l has more or le.ss 

 impunctate gr«M>ves on the elytr.i.

The frontal ridges and inner tubercles <.i xut-. v|m-i les are obsoiete, ami the short parietal 

 ridges are dwarfed by the large central tid>ercle. In other respects the stnicture of this 

 spe«-iej« resendiles that of I'. fto/inVK*, except that the marginal grooves of the pn>notum are 

 narrower, that there is .M-arcely any hair near the miihlle line of the me.so.stenuim and none 

 between this and the marginal bands, which ah»ne are matt, ami that the elytra are more 

 distinrtly punctunHl.
