Mandibles with a truncated process in front (bearing the deciduous piece), usually extending beyond the apex of the rostrum; rostrum with a sharply-defined triangular nasal plate limited behind by a v-shaped ridge or groove, which is produced into a short carina or groove posteriorly, the scrobes descending to the lower surface; funiculus 7-jointed; scape not reaching beyond the eyes, the latter large; mentum rather large, almost covering the maxillæ; vibrissæ wanting or indistinguishable from the general vestiture*; anterior coxæ very narrowly separated; femora abruptly clavate, unarmed, the anterior pair stouter than the others; tibiæ setose, the anterior pair unguiculate and serrulate, the articular surface of the posterior pair open and slightly ascending; body oblong, squamose and setose, fully winged.* In a fresh example of P. modestus? captured by Mr. H. H. Smith in St. Vincent, they are represented by a single very long seta only, which is wanting in the worn type of Gyllenhal.
