the female of that species ; it does not, however, agree with 

 Harold's description of the female, and differs in the entire 

 absence of sculpture on the thorax, except on the lateral lobe.

This may be placed next to P. subceneus, Casteln.

This species may be placed just before P. boreus in Harold's

 may probably only exist in the male.
