  Intermediate 
  in 
  form 
  between 
  P. 
  namaqua 
  and 
  P. 
  lineola 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  

   little 
  more 
  elongated, 
  the 
  humeral 
  callus 
  on 
  the 
  elytra 
  is 
  very 
  little 
  

   developed, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  two 
  not 
  much 
  raised 
  but 
  

   distinct 
  costae 
  ; 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  prothorax 
  are 
  similar 
  in 
  shape 
  and 
  

   sculpture, 
  but 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  distinct 
  longitudinal 
  groove 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  

   and 
  as 
  often 
  as 
  not 
  a 
  marginal 
  band 
  all 
  round 
  of 
  flavescent 
  

   scales 
  in 
  both 
  sexes; 
  the 
  scutellum, 
  which 
  is 
  narrower 
  and 
  slightly 
  

   shorter 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  two 
  species, 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  scales, 
  

   but 
  the 
  elytra, 
  which 
  are 
  ochraceous 
  yellow, 
  are 
  without 
  any 
  in 
  

   both 
  sexes, 
  and 
  have 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  three 
  discoidal 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  a 
  

   sutural 
  and 
  an 
  outer 
  marginal 
  row 
  of 
  long, 
  black 
  bristles 
  ; 
  the 
  

   pygidium 
  is 
  vertical 
  and 
  covered 
  with 
  white 
  scales 
  in 
  the 
  male, 
  

   yellow 
  in 
  the 
  female,

  the 
  propygidium 
  has 
  a 
  distinct 
  apical, 
  

   transverse, 
  fuscous 
  or 
  black 
  band 
  ; 
  hind 
  legs 
  as 
  in

  two 
  preceding 
  

   species, 
  fifth
