Of this genus several species are now known, which, like 

 P. Bugiceli Boisd. which served me for the type, are all di- 

 stinguished by the suturai depression peculiar to the male insect; 

 in the female, this characters is absent, and this sex can there-

 the elytral punctures arranging themselves in rows ; to this 

 rule, the present species is no exception.
