This species is distinguishable from superficially similar specimens of P . megalus by the more robustly lobate funicular antennomeres. Description. Size : Length 6.0 mm; width 2.0 mm. Form : As in Fig. 111 . Integument : Head mostly yellow, frons and epicranium infuscated; antenna mostly brown, capitular antennomere slightly yellow; pronotum mostly yellow, disc widely black; elytra predominantly brown, epipleural margin broadly yellow posteriorly, sutural margin yellow; meso- and metathoracic legs mostly yellow, foreleg mostly brown; pterothorax and abdomen brown. Head : Eyes as wide as vertex (15:15); funicular antennomeres considerably expanded, 6 th antennomere not very large ( Fig. 39 ). Thorax : Pronotum transverse (52:43), disc convex, lateral tubercle very prominent ( Fig. 69 ); epipleural fold gradually diminishing to elytral apex; asetiferous punctures prominent in anterior elytral 2/3. Abdomen : Aedeagus not available. Natural History. The type was collected during October, in a tropical transition forest at 430 m elevation. Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Bolivia ( Fig. 125 ). Etymology. The specific epithet is a Latin adjective that stems from macer (= thin) and refers to the narrow shape of the antennal capitulum.
