Description

This medium-sized beetle features a complex pattern of cream and brown markings.

It is similar to the related P. semipunctata, but differs in the smaller size and more limited dark markings. Unlike that species the basal portion of the elytra appears dominantly pale, with only a few separated dark spots instead of a series of closer markings.[2]

gollark: What 450GB of data are you *writing?
gollark: The powerline adapter in my room has stopped working, due to it bending an ethernet cable at some horrible angle for two years due to poor ethernet port placement, so now I get to enjoy *less* than 300KB/s WiFi.
gollark: It has to for the EFI system partition which is probably what you wiped.
gollark: Unfortunately, things may be moving away from this. We're in a good place now where most high-performance devices are *relatively* open and support approximately the same standards for boot and whatever, but in many areas ARM is beginning to take over with its general locked-down-ness and utterly awful mess of incompatible boot systems.
gollark: Oh no, imagine being able to use things as general-purpose computers!
