ISTot very closely allied to any described species. Compared 

 with P. rujitarsis, Fauv., this insect is more convex, with the 

 thorax more truncate in front, the sides more rounded and less 

 narrowed backwards, the elytra considerably longer (about 

 one-fifth longer than the thorax), and the puncturation through- 

 out much closer and finer. 



Not uncommon under stones near Henley Beach.
