right, sharp, projecting slightly laterally; transverse im- 
pressions inconspicuous, median line faint, basal fovez deep 
(making hind angles appear reflexed), the whole surface 
densely punctate. 
Klytra (3°75-4:75 mm. wide) parallel, rather rectangular, 
more than twice as long as thorax, shoulders advanced, apex 
nearly squarely truncate ; each elytron with nine primary 
narrow ridges, of which the first is close to the suture and 
the ninth (flatter and wider than the others) not far from 
margin, two secondary rather finer ridges between the 
primary ones, a row of setiferous punctures running between 
each primary and secondary ridge, but not between the 
scondary ones, a row of large pores inside the ninth ridge, 
from which emerge a few long sete, chiefly visible near base 
and apex ; the testaceous spots, more or less rounded, placed 
a little before middle, and extending from primary ridges 
2 to 6. 
Underside, except middle of head and a small space on each 
side near base of ventral surface, densely punctate and pubes- 
cent ; prosternal process not bordered, metepisterna elongate, 
last ventral segment in both sexes slightly emarginate, with 
half-a-dozen sete, longer than the general pubescence, on 
each side. 
‘Tarsi setose on upper surface, joint 1 of hind tarsi=(very 
nearly) 2+8+4; front tarsi in g with three joints mode- 
rately dilated, densely fringed with long yellowish hairs and 
with a row of ragged whitish scales along outer margin 
beneath. 
Closely allied to P. bimaculatus, Macl., but distinguished 
by the much denser puncturation of the head, with large and 
small punctures mingled together, prothorax more transverse, 
wider in front, and more contracted behind, hind angles 
sharper and projecting a little laterally, basal fovese deeper, 
puncturation coarser and closer, occasionally confluent, pro- 
episterna more evidently punctate (in bimaculatus nearly 
smooth). ;

Catascopus cupricollis, Chaud. Col. Nov. i. 1883, p. 24. 
This name is preoccupied by C. cupreicollis, C.O. Waterh. 
Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1877, p. 1. I suggest C. eneicollis. 
The species seems very closely allied to C. aruensis, Saund.
