In the sculpture this approaches P. rngosus. Kohl, which 

 I have not seen, but is a larger species, very differently 

 coloured. There are only seven sjiines on tiie fore tarsus 

 of the female in riu/usus, instead of eight, and the clypeus of 

 the male rii(josus is armed with three small teeth, which are 

 absent in slrigulosus. There is also no mention in KohPs 

 description of the tufts of long hairs near the base of the 

 mandibles. The puncturation of the second and third 

 tergites of the female is as close as on the first, though the 

 punctures are smaller.
