pubescentia et punctatissima rufo-castanea, singuli disco

It will be seen that this species (which now stands in the 
cabinet of the British Museum under the name of P. lineatus ,) 
agrees in the majority of its characters with the description 
given by Thunberg of that species. The variation in the 
formation of the clava of the antennae and the rounded an- 
terior margins of the thorax are, however, characters sufficient 
to distinguish it as a species. I have seen but one specimen, 
and I regret that I have not been able to obtain any informa- 
tion respecting its habitat, &c.
