  Head 
  and 
  prothorax 
  black, 
  clothed 
  with 
  dense, 
  long 
  black 
  hairs 
  

   and 
  having 
  white 
  scales 
  along 
  the 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  base 
  only 
  ; 
  elytra 
  

   red, 
  covered 
  with 
  contiguous, 
  round, 
  white 
  scales, 
  and 
  having 
  on 
  each 
  

   side 
  one 
  sutural, 
  three 
  discoidal 
  and 
  one 
  supra-marginal 
  rows 
  of 
  remote, 
  

   scar-like 
  denuded 
  spots, 
  each 
  bearing 
  a 
  stiff, 
  stout 
  bristle 
  ; 
  legs 
  red 
  ; 
  

   in 
  the 
  female 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  flavescent, 
  covered 
  with 
  yellowish 
  scales 
  ; 
  

   the 
  series 
  of 
  denuded 
  setiferous 
  spots 
  are 
  less 
  conspicuous, 
  and 
  they 
  

   are 
  disposed 
  on 
  more 
  distinctly 
  costate 
  elevations 
  ; 
  pygidium 
  not 
  

   scaly 
  in 
  either 
  sex, 
  but 
  the 
  propygidium 
  is 
  clothed 
  with 
  white 
  scales 
  

   and 
  hairs 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  ; 
  head 
  rugose, 
  clypeus 
  not 
  much 
  elongate, 
  

   sub-parallel, 
  emarginate 
  at 
  tip, 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  angles 
  distinctly 
  

   dentate 
  ; 
  prothorax 
  very 
  rugose, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  normal 
  shape 
  ; 
  elytra 
  

   strongly 
  ampliated 
  latterly 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  humeral 
  callus 
  strongly 
  

   developed 
  but 
  not 
  much 
  elongated 
  on 
  the 
  discoidal 
  part 
  in 
  the 
  male, 
  

   more 
  parallel 
  in 
  the 
  female, 
  and 
  having 
  along 
  the 
  margin 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  

   stiff 
  bristles 
  similar 
  to 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  disk 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  the 
  pygidium 
  

   is 
  vertical, 
  and 
  the 
  abdominal 
  segments 
  are 
  much 
  compressed 
  ; 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  tibiae 
  have 
  three 
  outer 
  teeth 
  exactly 
  like 
  those 
  of 
  P. 
  

   squamosa, 
  and 
  the 
  posterior 
  legs 
  are 
  nearly 
  similar 
  in 
  shape, 
  but 
  

   have 
  no 
  angular 
  tooth 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  face, 
  and 
  inwardly 
  the 
  two 
  edges 
  

   of 
  the 
  scooped 
  part 
  are 
  distinctly 
  dentate, 
  instead 
  of 
  having 
  a 
  tooth 
  in 
  

   the 
  hollowed 
  inner 
  part. 
  In 
  the 
  female 
  the 
  legs 
  are 
  simple 
  and 
  normal.
