 Antennae black, as long as the part above mentioned. Prothorax very 

 minutely tuberculated, slightly wider near the fore border. Abdomen 

 cylindrical, smooth, as broad as the prothorax, longer by about four lines 

 than the anterior part of the body. Fore femora 6 lines in length ;

 P. rostrata.
