  Fnsco-testaceous, 
  Havous 
  beneath. 
  Head 
  liavo-testaceous, 
  iu 
  fresh 
  

   specimens 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  fusco-olivaceous, 
  much 
  infascated 
  above, 
  with 
  a 
  

   broad 
  piceous 
  postocuhir 
  band, 
  and 
  often 
  with 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  divergent 
  fus- 
  

   cous 
  or 
  ferrugiueous 
  stripes 
  on 
  the 
  summit; 
  vertex 
  very 
  tumid, 
  dis- 
  

   tinctly 
  elevated 
  above 
  the 
  level 
  of 
  tlie 
  pronotum, 
  the 
  interspace 
  between 
  

   the 
  eyes 
  twice 
  (male) 
  or 
  thrice 
  (female) 
  as 
  broad 
  as 
  the 
  first 
  autenual 
  

   joint; 
  fastigium 
  rather 
  rapidly 
  declivent, 
  with 
  scarcely 
  perceptible 
  sul- 
  

   cation 
  ; 
  frontal 
  costa 
  not 
  nearly 
  reaching 
  the 
  clypeus, 
  much 
  broader 
  

   below 
  than 
  above 
  the 
  ocellus, 
  the 
  change 
  rather 
  abruptly 
  effected 
  and 
  

   more 
  striking 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  male, 
  at 
  its 
  broadest 
  consider- 
  

   ably 
  narrower 
  than 
  the 
  interspace 
  between 
  the 
  eyes, 
  distinctly 
  impressed 
  

   at 
  the 
  ocellus, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  sulcate 
  below 
  it, 
  punctate 
  throughout, 
  

   above 
  biseriately; 
  eyes 
  moderately 
  large, 
  rather 
  prominent, 
  with 
  no 
  

   great 
  difference 
  between 
  the 
  sexes, 
  fully 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  (female) 
  or 
  distinctly 
  

   longer 
  than 
  (male) 
  the 
  infraocular 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  genae; 
  antennae 
  

   testaceous, 
  feebly 
  infuscated 
  apically, 
  about 
  four-fifths 
  (male) 
  or 
  three- 
  

   fifths 
  (female) 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  hind 
  femora 
  (but 
  in 
  southern 
  examples 
  of 
  

   P. 
  n. 
  nehrascensis 
  relatively 
  longer). 
  Pronotum 
  equal, 
  except 
  for 
  being 
  

   faintly 
  subsellate, 
  especially 
  iu 
  the 
  male, 
  the 
  disk 
  ferrugineo-fuscous, 
  

   rounded 
  subtectate, 
  passing 
  by 
  a 
  very 
  broadly 
  and 
  uniformly 
  rounded 
  

   shoulder, 
  forming 
  a 
  semblance 
  of 
  blunt 
  lateral 
  carinae, 
  into 
  the 
  ante- 
  

   riorly 
  feebly 
  tumid 
  vertical 
  lateral 
  lobes, 
  which 
  are 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  tlavous 
  

   below, 
  and 
  above 
  are 
  marked 
  on 
  the 
  prozona 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  broad 
  piceous 
  

   postocular 
  band, 
  generally 
  broader 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  section 
  and 
  occa- 
  

   sionally 
  broken 
  there; 
  median 
  carina 
  sharp 
  but 
  not 
  high, 
  equal, 
  per- 
  

   current; 
  front 
  margin 
  subtruncate, 
  hind 
  margin 
  very 
  obtusangulate, 
  

   in 
  the 
  female 
  often 
  rotundato-obtusaugulate; 
  prozona 
  distinctly 
  longi- 
  

   tudinal 
  in 
  both 
  sexes, 
  sparsely 
  and 
  shallowly 
  and 
  sometimes 
  very 
  

   obscurely 
  punctate, 
  nearly 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  again 
  as 
  the 
  densely 
  and 
  finely 
  

   punctate 
  metazona. 
  Prosternal 
  spine 
  rather 
  long, 
  erect, 
  conical, 
  blunt; 
  

   interspace 
  between 
  mesosternal 
  lobes 
  about 
  two 
  and 
  a 
  half 
  times 
  longer 
  

   than 
  broad 
  (male) 
  or 
  about 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  again 
  as 
  broad 
  (female). 
  Teg- 
  

   mina 
  slightly 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  pronotum, 
  broad 
  lanceolate, 
  attingent, 
  

   the 
  costal 
  margin 
  angulato-convex, 
  the 
  tip 
  bluntly 
  acuminate, 
  ferru 
  

   gineo-testaceous 
  (P. 
  n. 
  nehrascensis), 
  or 
  surpassing 
  a 
  little 
  the 
  hind 
  

   femora, 
  overlapping, 
  rather 
  broad, 
  remarkably 
  equal, 
  the 
  apex 
  well
