Hab. Nepal ; Bhutan ; Sikkim ; Assam : Manipur ; 

 Burma : Moraeit, N. Chin Hills. 



The head is entirely rugose and the clypeus transversely 

 rectangular and not toothed. The pronotum is rather closely 

 but finely punctured and fringed with long reddish hairs at 

 the sides, similar hairs also arising from the dorsal surface in 

 the neighbourhood of the front angles. The elytra are well 

 punctured, the punctures being stronger in the females and 

 showing a greater tendency to run into rows. In that sex 

 the elytra are also dilated at the sides behind the middle, and 

 in the male the legs are very much enlarged and thickened, 

 the claw-joint and inner claw of the front tarsus being of 

 enormous size.

This species is very like P. morio, but larger, with the 

 pronotum much less punctured and not hairy, the elytra less 

 punctured in both sexes, although more regularly and dis- 

 tinctly in the female. The clypeus is rounded in front, and 

 there is a tubercle in the middle of the front margin in both 

 sexes. In the male the mandibles are rather quadrate.
