A fci-rinle, sent as belonging to this species, from the British Museum, has the intercoxsl process of the prosternmn longer than wide, with its posterior end semicircdarly emarginatje and the tips acute; the hind angles of the prothorax also embrace the shoulders. It should, possMy, have been referred to Pmso# riotus. The species is a variable and widely distributed one, as there are two ixnniplcs froin Roeb~ ick Bay (North-Western Australia) in the British Aluscuin, one froin Cue (Western Australia) nnd another from Parachilna (South Australia) in the South Anstralian Museum. These range in size from 3 to 4 mm., and have the postinedian spots on the elytra varying considerably in size and intensity (on the Parachiha specimen they are irregularly conjoined); parts of the under-surface are more or lcss deeply infuscated. The prothorax has very minute pubescence that could be easily overlooked and was not iiieiitioned by Baly. In the male the front tibiae are mnch longer and thinner than the others, and the abdomen has a small and shallow subapical impression instead of a large fovea.
