Black glossy; prothorax and elytra with pale cork-colored 

 scale markings. Rostrum in basal half with a shallow depres- 

 sion beset with a large scale spot. Prothorax broader than 

 long with a scale stripe along anterior and posterior margins, 

 both stripes confluent at lateral margin. Elytra oblong-ovate 

 with rudimentary indicated rows of punctures which are some- 

 what more strongly pronounced near lateral margin and apex. 

 Each elytron with a narrow crossband at about basal fourth, 

 reaching from first puncture row to lateral margin. A second 

 crossband in the middle more or less interrupted at suture. 

 Apical fourth with two lateral scale spots and a more or less 

 interrupted longitudinal stripe in third interstice. Underside, 

 mesosternum, metasternum, and first abdominal sternite with 

 scattered scales and finely whitish setose. Legs sparsely setose. 



Male, length, 11 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 4.8. 



Morotai, Moluccas. 



This species is nearly related to P. forsteni Vollh.

 12, fig. 4; Heller, Philip. Journ. Sci. § D 7 (1912) 305. 

 Glossy bluish black; prothorax and elytra with white scale 

 spots. Rostrum in apical half scatteredly punctured, basal half 

 with a shallow oblong depression beset with a scale spot. Head 

 distantly scatteredly punctured. Prothorax slightly longer than 

 broad, very finely and scatteredly punctured, at anterior and 

 posterior margins dorsolateral^ with a small lateral scale spot 

 and two not sharply defined spots in the middle at lateral 

 margins. Elytra oblong-ovate, indistinctly striate-punctate, 

 with four cross rows of small white scale spots. The first cross 

 row, located at basal fourth, consists of four spots on each ely- 

 tron, one of them dorsally, the others laterally ; the second cross 

 row, located in the middle, has seven or eight spots placed close 

 together which do not reach suture or lateral margin. The 

 third cross row, at apical third, consists of three spots and the 

 fourth row is a transversely expanded spot next to apex. Legs 

 sparsely and finely whitish setose.
