This species may be recognized from other species with ver- 
rucose elytra, by the gibbous form of the medial elytra when seen 
sideways, and by the comparatively undeveloped and generally 
distributed rugosities on the surface of the elytra.

Late ovalis, subcircularis, convexa, subtuberculata, confusé 
punctata, rubiginosa: caput crebré punctatum, spatio basali 
brevi leevi ; thoraz transversus, Jatitudine longitudinem triplo

P. perparvula, though belonging to the very difficult and ex- 
tensive sub-group of tuberculated species, is, I believe, easily to 
be recognized—at all events it abundantly differs from all Western 
Australian species with which I am acquainted. I have several 
species in my Collection, received for the most part from M. 
Damel, from the North and North-West districts: the species 
before us may be recognized easily among them all by its small 
size, the close irregular punctuation of the elytra, which becomes 
near the apical suture arranged in striz, and by the absence of 
any dark fuscous spots on the elytra.
