Habitat in Africa australi. Mus. Saunders. 
This curious species is nearly allied to P. armatus, but I am 
unable to distinguish any spurs at the extremity of the posterior 
tibiae, which are furnished with a number of short rigid setae. 
Fig. 5 a represents the head and prothorax seen sideways; 
5 the maxillary, and 5 c, the labial palpi; 5 one of the hind tarsi.

This species is very nearly allied to P. Hearseianus, but differs 
in its comparatively longer prothorax, the sides of which, in front, 
are more rounded and the disc not polished; the club of the antennse

sions towards the hinder margin, with the disc not glossy; the 
antennse and legs are castaneous red, and the general colour more 
of a dull brick-red. 
There is no locality attached to the two specimens in the British 
Museum collection, but in the MS, catalogue the insect is named
