As already implied, I do not feel absolutely certain that 
this insect is congeneric with the preceding one; yet, 
judging from the single example from which the diagnosis 
has been drawn out, I scarcely think that its points of 
discrepancy are of sufficient importance to indicate generic 
separation, — for in their antennae being inserted medially, 
as well as in theu' rostra being comparatively long and 
slender, their scutella conspicuous, and their feet short 
and subfiliform (the first joint of which is not elongated), 
they are inter se on much the same t}q)e. Yet the present 
species is prima facie exceedingly different fi'om the 
P. minutum, — being not only very much larger, darker, 
less narrowed, more parallel, more deeply sculptured and 
more depressed, but likewise with its scutellum larger, 
and its antennae more robust, the second funiculus-joint of 
which is (although short) appreciably longer and more 
obconical than those which follow it. Its elytra also, in- 
stead of being elongate-ovate (or a little widened behind 
the middle), are more decidedly parallel, or, if anything, 
])erhaps a trifle narroiced (gi'adually) behind; and its 
tibire do not appear to be armed with a little spimdc at 
their inner apex. In addition to which its rostrum is 
somcAvhat thicker (especially towards the base), as well as 
convcxer and more arcuate; and its eyes are less de- 
pressed.
