This species is notable among its Australian congeners for the 
very fine punctures (resembling pricks with the point of a fine 
needle) sparsely distributed over the disc of its prothorax.

P. impressipeniis, sp. nov. Ovalis; sat elongata ; modice con- 
vexa; nitida; fulva, vix cupreo-micans, antennis apicem 
versus paullo (vel vix) infuscatis, pedibus rufo-testaceis ; 
capite minus lato, coriaceo vel subtiliter ruguloso, oculis 
magnis inter se subapproximatis, sulcis interocularibus fort- 
iter impressis ad oculos contiguis; antennis quam corporis 
dimidium longioribus, articulo 1° quam 2° 3" que conjuncti 
(his inter se sat eequalibus) parum breviori; prothorace quam 
longiori fere triplo latiori, crebre fortiter punctulato, quadr- 
ato, quam caput multo latiori, antice haud angustato, mox 
intra marginem lateralem (hoc fere recto) longitudinaliter 
manifeste impresso, angulis anticis incrassatis plus minusve. 
distincte extrorsum prominulis, basi utrinque fovea brevi 
obliqua impressa ; elytris paullo pone basin manifeste trans- 
versim-arcuatim late impressis ; fortiter punctulato-striatis, 
interstitiis subtiliter punctulatis convexis (latera apicemque 
versus sat fortiter costiformibus). Long., 121. lat 1. 
A very distinct species on account of its comparatively large 
size, its large subapproximate eyes, the well defined longitudinal 
impressions (almost sulci) just within the lateral borders of its 
prothorax, and the well defined wide shallow impression from 
shoulder to shoulder on its elytra. Owing to the interocular sulci 
on its head being very close to its eyes, the spaces on the head 
which Mr. Baly calls the ‘‘interocular spaces” are extremely 
narrow. I have two examples (from 8. Australia) somewhat 
smaller than typical specimens, a little wider and less elongate,
