 little convex on the anterior part, depressed behind, each one with 

 six costge more or less wavy, especially the first, third, and sixth, 

 which are also less raised than the others, reaching from the base 

 to three-fourths of the length, where they disappear ; intervals 

 foveate, the fovese deep, and replaced below the costae with more 

 or less evanescent broad punctures, suture with a broad yellowish 

 band reaching from the base to half the length, and on each side 

 a round white spot situated at the apex of the fourth, fifth, and 

 sixth costae, outer margin with a greyish band not very distinct on

Head with a greyish tomentum ; prothorax elongato-cordate, one- 

 fifth longer than broad, slightly pubescent and closely punctured, 

 broadly grooved in the centre, the groove with a greyish white 

 pubescence ; elytra very elongated, depressed throughout, but with 

 the depression still greater in the posterior half, each one with six 

 costas somewhat undulating, the first, third, and sixth not so much 

 raised as the intervening ones, reaching from the base to two-thirds 

 of the length, where they disappear ; intervals foveate, the fovese 

 deep, between the costae ; posterior part with a few more or less 

 evanescent punctures as a continuation of the alveolae of the anterior 



* According to Dolirn (Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1887, p. 172), P. suturata, Perroud 

 (P. grapliiptcroidcs), is identical with Icucospilata, and has the priority.
