This species is very close to P. difficilis, Newm., but inthat the pronotum is much less strongly punctured and thelateral flanges to the elytra are absent. The types of all the species here described as new are inthe British Museum. 54 On the LameWcorn Genus The following is the explanation of the accompanyingdiagrammatic figures of the aedeagus of the male of speciesreferred to in this paper:— Fig. 1.
