This curious species is nearly allied to P. armatus, but I am

tibiee, which are furnished with a number of short rigid sete.

antennee and legs are castaneous red, and the general colour more 
of a dull brick-red. 
There is no locality attached to the two specimens in the British 
Museum collection, but in the MS. catalogue the insect is named
