This species is so extremely similar to P. truncatus that a repetition of the description of 

 that species is unnecessary. P. pumilus is, however, scarcely half so large as P. truncatus, and 

 has the thorax rather shorter and the punctuation of the upper surface closer. The female 

 has the teeth of the front tibiae much longer than the male, and the sculpture of the pygidium 

 more diminished.
