The head is more rapidly narrowed behind the eyes 
than in any other species known to me. The thorax also 
differs in having rectangular hind angles, with their apices 
slightly prominent. In other respects the thorax resem- 
bles that of Pr. impunctata, dulcigrada, &c., but it is not 
narrower at the base than at the apex, and the broadest 
part is a httle before the middle.
