Colouring and markings not unlike P. scutellatus, but 

 the two upper facial spots have a tendency to become 

 comma-shaped (Edw.). The elytra also in the speci- 

 mens sent to me from Norwich are more rounded in 

 outline, and the insects are of a browner tinge. The 

 chief difference appears to be in the markings of the 

 hind tibiae, which have each two separated black lines
