P, dimidiatus, Kbm. (dubius, D. §& S.; populi pars, 
Saund. Synops.).—Very like some varieties of populi, but 
distinguishable by the absence of the longitudinal black 
lines on the basal joint of the antennz; closely allied also 
to Lveuteri, but rather more slender, more mottled, less 
brown in colour, and with the third joint of the antenne 
proportionately shorter and the first joint longer, being 
distinctly longer than the fourth ; from pini the long basal 
joint, which is as long as the pronotum and head to the 
brow of the forehead, distinguishes it at once; from /ongi- 
pennis its shorter antennz and legs, and more robust form, 
will separate it.

P. pini, Abm.—Shorter and stouter than any of the 
preceding, ochreous brown, mottled with darker brown. 
Antenne with the basal joint hardly longer than the pro- 
notum, and subequal to or shorter than the apical joint ; 
pronotum wider in front than in most of the species, its 
sides straight; mottling of the elytra very obscure; femora 
mottled, tibize with obscure bands, the dark bands of the 
intermediate pair much wider than the pale ones.
