and legs clothed with small, appressed greyish hairs slightly denser 
on the pectus ; head and clypeus covered with deep, round punctures 
with aciculate intervals; prothorax with similar punctures, more 
than twice as broad as long, ampliated laterally past the median 
part, and much more strongly attenuated in the anterior, not very 
convex and grooved longitudinally in the centre; scutellum cordate, 
strongly punctured; elytra with a distinct humeral and posterior 
callosities, somewhat plane, covering the propygidium, not plainly 
costulate, covered with deep, nearly foveate punctures separated by 
raised walls giving them a strongly coriaceous appearance. They 
are sprinkled with irregular, small, metallic, brown patches, which 
are, however, often obliterated ; pygidium slanting in each sex; legs 
not robust, tarsi moderately long. 
Length 144-154 mm. ; width 7-84 mm. 
Hab. Southern Rhodesia (Mazoé); Sebakwe, Umtal. The first

are quite similar to P. hauseri, Brsk., but they are also, I believe, 
identicai with P. conspurcata, Gerst.
