The most nearly allied species to this one seems to be 

 P. maculigcra, Lef., but the author describes the head 

 as deeply sulcate between the eyes, the vertex as smooth 

 and the thorax as strongly punctured at the sides, the 

 elytra are also provided with an extra subapical spot. I 

 received several specimens of the present insect from 

 Moiis. Clavareau of Brussels.
