This species is so extremely similar to P. truncatus that a repetition of the description of 
that species is unnecessary. P. pumilus is, however, scarcely half so large as P . truncatus, and 
has the thorax rather shorter and the punctuation of the upper surface closer. The female 
has the teeth of the front tibiae much longer than the male, and the sculpture of the pygidium 
more diminished.
