  the 
  depressed 
  triangular 
  setigerous 
  areas 
  lying 
  one 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  

   lobe 
  are 
  smooth 
  ; 
  the 
  parapsidal 
  furrows 
  (whose 
  abrupt 
  bending 
  is 
  plainly 
  visible 
  in 
  

   this 
  species) 
  bounding 
  this 
  smooth 
  spot 
  on 
  the 
  outside, 
  are 
  deepened. 
  Scutellum 
  (fig. 
  11) 
  

   entirely 
  covered 
  by 
  a 
  raised 
  pattern 
  which 
  anteriorly 
  tends 
  to 
  form 
  ridges, 
  and 
  pos- 
  

   teriorly 
  consists 
  of 
  a 
  very 
  coarse 
  reticulation 
  (cf. 
  the 
  same 
  region 
  in 
  P. 
  neavei). 
  

   Propodaeum 
  (fig. 
  11) 
  with 
  the 
  median 
  keels 
  very 
  close 
  together 
  basally, 
  rather 
  more 
  than 
  

   one-tenth 
  the 
  distance 
  between 
  the 
  laterals 
  ; 
  the 
  enclosed 
  space 
  not 
  carinate; 
  but

   scutellum, 
  metanotum 
  and 
  propodaeum. 
  

  

  slightly 
  pitted 
  posteriorly. 
  The 
  area 
  contained 
  by 
  the 
  expanded 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  keel 
  is 
  

   deeply 
  hollowed 
  and 
  the 
  cavity 
  is 
  dull, 
  owing 
  to 
  its 
  surface 
  being 
  punctured 
  ; 
  the 
  

   whole 
  upper 
  posterior 
  edge 
  before 
  the 
  posterior 
  keel 
  is 
  for 
  some 
  distance 
  punctate 
  

   and 
  dull.
