Head
with frontal area granulose, covered with dense golden setae; terminal maxillary palpomere ovoid in female, strongly expanded apically in male.
Antenna
in male extending to or slightly beyond elytral apices, in female does not reach elytral apices; antennomere 3 distinctly longer than scape or antennomere 4; in male antennomers 9–11 subequal, in female antennomere 9 much longer than distinctly shortened 10 or 11.
Pronotum
transverse, coarsely granulose, bearing short not well visible setae; disc with two strong apically spinose projections near middle and two smaller projections posteriorly; lateral side with sharp, posteriorly bent median spine. Scutellum concave without apparent setae.
Elytra
rounded apically; dorsum with dense, irregular shiny granules in basal half, becoming gradually smaller and denser towards apices, each granule with curved and usually hardly visible seta except near apex; bristles sparse and irregular, visible in basal half; interspaces between granules feebly shiny.

Distribution
(Fig. 6D). Distribution of
P. pustulosus
is similar to
P. pustulatus
but this species is more southern extending north to the Blue Mountains (NSW) only.
Biological data.
Adults of
P. pustulosus
have been collected from September to February, mostly by MV light trap. Like
P. pustulatus
this species is also found in wet forest habitats.
