Tjandi near Seraarang. Java (Drescher leg.). 

 Ç. Clypeus strongh^ and moderately closely punctured all 

 over, more weakly above than below ; shortly, but clearly 

 longer than its greatest width ; the apex in the centre narrowlv 

 bluntly rounded, it becoming gradually, obliquely narrowed 

 from the sides to the centre ; the lateral suture commences 

 near the lower part of the eyes ; it is there close to them and 

 parallel ; shortly below its middle it diverges obliquely. Malar 

 space not much more than the length of the 4*'' antennal 

 joint — about the length of the outer side of the eye incision. 

 Tibiae and tarsi pruinose ; the underside of the fore tarsi with 

 a golden pile. 



d" . The clypeus is about one fourth longer than wide ; its 

 sides depressed and thickly covered with white pubescence, 

 as is also, to a less extend, the apex and the lower inner 

 orbits; below the pile, these ])arts are obscure yellowish. 

 Malar space somewhat longer than the 4"' antennal joint. The 

 apex of the clypeus is broad, trilobate, the inner lobe narrower 

 and shorter than the lateral. 



Of the species known to me the present comes nearest t o 

 P. Rothneiji from Assam ; it may be known by its more bluntly 

 pointed apex of clypeus, it being broader and more distinctly 

 rounded ; its legs are black at the base, their hind femora 

 and tibiœ being also black ; the punctuation, too, is less coarse. 

 The males of the two species are more easily sejiarated, the 

 ditferences between them being more marked. These differences 

 may be expres.sed thus : 



Apical joint of antenna' flattened and laterally dilated ; 

 clypeus hardly longer than wide, its a])ex widely, roundly 

 dilated, the dilated middle mucli wider than the sides ; 

 legs largely black Rof/inei/i, Cam. 



Apical joint of antennie not dilated and laterally 

 compressed ; clypeus distinctly longer than wide, the
