J . Long. 38-47 mm. Bab. Ecuador, in wood west of CuenQa, 2600 m., May 1899 (P. 0. Simons). This species closely resembles P. atys, White, in form, colour, and sculpture, but is at once distinguished by the posterior angles of the thorax being slightly rounded instead of acute and slightly projecting, as they are in P. atys. The head is coarsely and closely rugose, with a short, not very acute, conical tubercle behind the eye. The mandibles are shorter than the head. The thorax is less rugose than the head, and the space on each side of the disk, although rather closely punctured, is smoother. The elytra are one-third.
