of rostrum and head with a patch of scales. Prothorax as long 

 as broad, the sides moderately rounded. Dorsally in the middle 

 a longitudinal arrow-shaped marking. Lateral margins with 

 a broad irregular oblong-oval ring marking. Elytra striate- 

 punctate. Each elytron with a very large irregularly roundish 

 ring marking at base, reaching from first puncture row to 

 lateral margin, in the middle a cross row of two other, smaller, 

 and in apical third a larger ring marking. The middle ring 

 marking located near lateral margin is connected with the one 

 in apical third by a broad stripe along margin. The scaled 

 areas on prothorax and elytra are distinctly impressed on the 

 surface. Prosternum, mesosternum, and metasternum beset 

 with scattered scales, first and second abdominal sternites with 

 a scale spot laterally. Femora with a small spot on underside 

 near apex. 



Male, length, 12.3 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 5.5. 

 Female, 13 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 6.

 Glossy dark coppery red, prothorax with pale green longi- 

 tudinal scale stripes, elytra with markings very similar in design 

 to P. speciosus Waterh. Rostrum in basal half with a strongly 

 pronounced dorsal depression, the dorsolateral edges of rostrum 

 distinctly swollen. Front with an oblong-oval scale ring mark- 

 ing, sides of head with a spot below eye. Prothorax almost as 

 broad as long, the greatest width behind middle, dorsally two 

 longitudinal stripes convergent toward anterior margin. Sides 

 with two broad longitudinal stripes which are more or less con- 

 fluent at anterior and posterior margins. Elytra striate-punc- 

 tate, the punctures rather large. Each elytron in basal third 

 with a band forming crosswise an irregularly oval figure, reach- 

 ing from first puncture row to lateral margin. In middle of 

 elytra two crossbands which curve backward on sides and cir- 

 cumscribe a roughly triangular figure in apical third of each 

 elytron. Apical third of elytra scanty pubescent. Prosternum, 

 mesosternum, metasternum, and first and second abdominal 

 sternites more or less densely beset with scattered scales. Fem- 

 ora with a scale spot on underside near apex.
