Petiole and 1st abdominal segment moderately, the rest of the body very shining. Pilosity whitish, short, decumbent and very sparse on the head and thorax, more abundant on the petiole and abdomen, the apical half of the latter with longer and exserted hairs. Antennae and tarsi sparsely pubescent. Posterior half of the head and all the thorax sparsely punctured ; the punctures on the thorax fairly coarse, larger than those on the head. Dorsal face of the petiole and the 1st abdominal segment fairly closely punctate and coriaceous, the posterior fifth of the latter more sparsely punctured. Basal half of the 2nd abdominal segment finely and evenly punctured. Scape and flagellum finely punctured, mandibles edentate, sparsely and rather coarsely punctured. A patch between the eyes and antennal sockets very finely coria- ceous. The rest smooth and impunctate. Head subquadrate, one-seventh longer than wide, the sides and posterior margin very feebly convex, the posterior angles widely rounded. Clypeus and frontal carinae as in P. Cooperi, Arnold. The genal j^^>---> angles in front of the eyes more acute and directed coxa. more upwards than in that species. The scapes are much more abruptly incrassate thai in Cooperi and are hardly three times as long as their greatest width, barely extending back as far as the hind margin of the eyes. First joint of flagellum as long P. coxaiis, n. sp. ^^ wide, the 2nd-8th much wider than long, the 9th one-third wider than long, the last joint half as long again as the 10th. The eyes occupy one-fourth of the sides of the head and are placed just in front of the middle. Dorsum of thorax sharply margined in front and behind, narrowed gradually towards the anterior third, thence ampliated and widest at the posterior thi
