what similar to P. deformis from the Andaman Islands ; the 

 sixth joint of the antenna is triangular.

 female in the British Museum, taken by Mr. Maries.

There is a small race of this species which measures only 

 8-9 millim. — var. hicostata — in which the antennee and legs 

 are always a clear yellow. It occurs in the neighbourhood of 

 Chiuzenji, where I took eight examples. 



The species of this genus have an antenna of twelve joints 

 in the male, eleven in the female, and one spu];x)n the anterior 

 tibia. ,

 punctures thicker set nearer the neck ; the thorax reddish 

 yellow, vaguely punctured, slightly constricted before the
