latter small but very distinct ; apices of the elytra slightly trun- 

 cated obliquely on the inner side ; body beneath and legs with a

The apices of the elytra are less decidedly angulated in this 

 species, and the prothorax is more cylindrical, or less rounded at 

 the sides, than in P. bipunclatus, to which it bears a close resem- 

 blance.

P. niger, nitidus, pube alba varius ; prothorace utrinque valide 

 dentato ; elytris pone medium macula nitida, albo-annulata, 

 apicibus sub-truncatis. 



JETab. — Tondano.
