P. clavatus, Linn.—Like the preceding in form and style 
of coloration, but longer, and narrower, the pronotum espe- 
cially being longer in proportion to its width, with the sides 
slightly sinuate; the entire surface of the insect also 
is more pubescent, being clothed with fine scattered 
golden pubescence, and the general colour of a darker, less 
cinnamon-coloured brown ; the head and pronotum have a 
bronzy tint, scutellum with a less distinct silvery band at 
the apex, posterior silvery band of the corium not meeting 
that of the clavus, but placed distinctly below it, inner half 
of the corium at the apex dull, legs darker than in 
clunamopterus, and the posterior tibiae narrower.
