the apical angles rather spinose. There is a minute tubercle at 

 the middle of the front margin of the pronotum. 



cf . The head is rugosely punctured, with the clypeus extremely 

 short, extending very little in front of the. eye-ridges, gently 

 rounded in front, with the lateral angles not well-marked and the 

 anterior face forming an obtuse angle with the upper margin ; 

 the upper surface is only moderately excavated. The pronotum 

 is strongly transverse and very coarsely, deeply, and closely 

 punctured, leaving only a very small, smooth, and shining space 

 upon the posterior half on each side of the median groove ; the 

 latter is bounded at the front margin by a minute but rather 

 sharp tubercle and widens in the posterior half into a somewhat 

 oval depression ; the lateral margins are sharply serrated, broadly 

 dilated and flattened in the posterior half, and fringed beneath 

 with closely-set erect yellow hairs. The front femur is armed 

 with a sharp spiniform tooth about the middle of its anterior 

 edge ; the tibia is only very feebly curved and has a finely 

 granular and opaque surface, with numerous irregularly scattered 

 tubercles upon its inner side. There is a very strong sharp 

 process projecting inwards and upwards at about two-thirds of 

 the length of the tibia from the base and exactly opposite a 

 minute tooth upon the outer edge, and the extremity of the tibia 

 is produced inwards as a still longer process, which in small 

 specimens is sharp, and in well-developed specimens blunt but 

 hooked at the end. The pygidium is scantily clothed with short 

 reddish hair, but has a bare median line. 



$ . The head is entirely rugose, gently excavated, without a 

 distinct ridge between the clypeus and forehead. The clypeus is 

 not very long, its sides are convergent, the front margin rather 

 straight and the angles sharp. The pronotum is closely and 

 coarsely rugose, the punctures being almost obliterated, except in 

 the immediate neighbourhood of the very small smooth shining 

 area towards the base on each side ; the anterior tubercle is blunt 

 and divided behind. The tip of the pygidium carries a fringe of 

 long hairs.

Although the distinctness of this species from the previously 

 described P. macleayi has been doubted, and the points of 

 difference may seem at first sight to be unimportant, there is 

 really no doubt as to their separateness, the distinctive features 

 affecting nearly every part, so that it would be possible to deter- 

 mine to which species a specimen belonged from almost any 

 portion of it. P. parryi is much less hairy and, accompanying an 

 elongation of the hinder part of the body, there is a shortening 

 of the head ; in the male the mouth is placed at a different angle 

 to the clypeus, so that the long protruding brashes of the maxillae
