This very much resembles females of Ph. ceneus, but the sides 

 of the thorax are more slightly impressed, the elytra are of a deeper 

 green, and the abdomen above is more distinctly, and by no means 

 so thickly punctate, nigro-pubescent, metallico-versicolorous. 

 The anterior tarsi are simple in both sexes. Gyllenhal's name 

 was given to a variety, which has not occurred within the district, 

 but Erichson has adopted it to designate the typical representatives 

 of the species.
