sculpture of the head rather finer, the anterior border without 

 a median denticle; the thorax is of the same build, but the 

 granules are sniaJler and less close, the pimcturation of the 

 elytra and abdomen distinctly liner.

Pitchy-black, shining. Thorax as long as broad, the sides 

 almost parallel for the anterior three-fourths. Elytra 

 scarcely as long as the thorax, coarsely punctured ; abdomen 

 with the apex ferruginous. Antennae slender, the first two 

 joints reddish-testaceous, the following" testaceous. Legs 

 reddish-testaceous. Length 11 mm. Similar to P. unifonnis 

 Cam., in the build of the thorax, but less shining, with broader 

 less coarsely punctured head and much shorter, more coarsely 

 punctured elytra. Head transverse, sabtriangnlar, temples 

 dentiform ; antennal tubercles and a narrow transverse space 

 across the front shining and impunctate except for a row of 

 rather large close punctures immediately behind the anterior 

 margin, the rest of the surface closely and coarsely punctured. 

 AntenucTe with the first two joints much thicker than the 

 following, these very slender at the base, club-shaped, all 

 much longer than broad. Thorax as long as broad, the sides 

 practically parallel for the anterior three-fourths, then rounded 

 in continuity with the base ; anterior border bisinuate, middle 

 line posteriorly with short, narrow, shining space which is 

 finely sulcate, otherwise closely and rather more coarsely 

 punctured than the head, between the punctures very finely 

 strigose. Scutellum with a few large punctures. Elytra 

 much narrower and scarcely as long as the thorax, scarcely 

 transverse, very coarsely and closely punctured and with a 

 very fine ground sculpture. Abdomen rather coarsely and 

 closely punctured, the last two segments ferruginous and 

 much more finely and sparingly punctured ; pubescence rather 

 long and coarse.
