sesquipedalis group
The basal segment of the metatarsus is extraordinarily long in these beetles (fig. 109); the tripartite humeral macula is lacking; and the aedeagus (fig. 120) is particularly long. In the more northern specimens of P. sesquipedalis , n. sp., and in all specimens of P. lucis , n.sp., the relatively light color of the elytra accentuates the abundance and robustness of dark elytral bristles. The combined range of the four species of this group extends from Central Costa Rica, across Guyana, south through Ecuador and Peru, and to the forests of Matto Grosso, in Brazil.
