Prats XIX, Fie. 7. 
P. lavifronti Dej., Westw. proximus: prothorace subcontinuo, antennarum clava haud excavata, breviter 
ovata, lenticulari, retrorsum quadri-foveolato ; rufo-brunneus nitidus, parce subtiliterque setulosus; vertice

Pratt XIX, Fie. 9. 
Precedenti (P. procero) proximus, at latior et brevior: piceus, capite nitido; elytris obscure castaneis sub- 
coriaceis, punctis parvis setigeris notatis; capitis clypeo in medio longitudinaliter subsulcato ; vertice integro 
postice in collum distinctum contracto; antennarum clava ovali lenticulari, medio disci subtus magis angulato 
(fig. 9a), prothorace paullo majori, impunctata, setis minutis luteis decumbentibus, angulo basali externo 
parum producto, margineque postico 4-suleato, sulcis minutis; prothorace bipartito, parte antica capite latiore, 
lateribus rotundatis, in medio suleo parvo longitudinali, marginem anticum haud attingente; parte postica fere 
capitis latitudine, in medio haud excavato, integro, lateribus parum aut vix dilatatis, angulis posticis vix exsertis ; 
pedibus satis latis; tibiis e basi ad apicem sensim latioribus compressis ; pygidio punctato. 
Long. corp. lin. 83-44. 
Habitat; White Nile. In Mus. Shepherd, Parry et Dohrn; Bogos, Nubia (Felder); Bahr el Abrad

The antennz are about the size of, or slightly larger than, the prothorax. The length of the elytra=23 
the leneth of the prothorax. There is a very slight impression on each side of the crown of the head, close to 
the narrowed neck. The tibiw are compressed, flattened, rather thickened at the tip.
