antenniferous tubercles, anterior and intermediate legs, and the pos- 
terior tarsi ochraceous; antennae with the first and second joints 
subequal in length, third shortest, fourth longest ; head above

Allied to P. macromera, Guér., but differing by the long

by the different structure of the posterior femora.
