  and 
  more 
  narrowed 
  near 
  the 
  base, 
  but 
  the 
  sides 
  behind 
  

   the 
  middle 
  are 
  more 
  fully 
  rounded, 
  and 
  the 
  sinuation 
  

   near 
  the 
  base 
  is 
  very 
  short, 
  as 
  in 
  P. 
  viridans, 
  but 
  there 
  

   is 
  scarcely 
  any 
  trace 
  of 
  basal 
  foveae. 
  The 
  elytra 
  are 
  

   broader 
  and 
  much 
  flatter 
  than 
  in 
  either 
  species, 
  but 
  are 
  

   equally 
  elongate 
  ; 
  they 
  are 
  opaque, 
  and 
  the 
  rows 
  of 
  

   punctures, 
  where 
  they 
  are 
  visible, 
  are 
  regular, 
  not 
  gemi- 
  

   nated; 
  the 
  lateral 
  metallic 
  margins 
  are 
  densely 
  trans- 
  

   verse-rugose. 
  The 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  of 
  the 
  <? 
  near 
  the 
  apex 
  

   are 
  pubescent. 
  

  

  In 
  colours, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  elytral 
  sculpture, 
  

   this 
  species 
  resembles 
  P. 
  aurocinctus 
  (Chaud.), 
  but 
  the 
  

   elytra 
  are 
  very 
  different 
  in 
  form, 
  being 
  much 
  longer 
  and 
  

   rather 
  less 
  convex 
  than 
  P. 
  intermedius, 
  instead 
  of 
  shorter, 
  

   more 
  ovate 
  and 
  convex, 
  as 
  described 
  by 
  Chaudoir.
