Numerous examples of both sexes. This insect agrees 
fairly well with the description, so far as it goes, of P. 
gerstac'keri, which is, perhaps, a variety of P. pruinosus, 
Gerst. It is very variable in size and colour. The 
females have the elytra more elongate and darker in 
colour than in the males, and the antennae testaceous. 
The males have the elytra brownish-testaceous or reddish- 
brown. The pubescence has the appearance of being 
rabbed off in places, but it does not form definite mark- 
ings, either on the thorax or elytra. The species is 
closely alHed to the European E. dufouri; but differs 
from it in having the third as well as the following joints 
of the antennse furnished with a very long ramus in the 
males, the third joint in E. dufouriheing spiniform in this 
sex. Macleay's specimens were from Gayndah, Queens- 
land. Taken by sweeping short grass, etc., along the 
edge of a mangrove swamp (Walker).
