Holotype: ♂. Chile, Paposo, Costa de Antofagasta, 21/9/1953, Coll. L. E. Peña (MNNC). Allotype and 15 paratypes. Allotype and 12 paratypes from Chile, Chañaral de Aceitumo, 23- 25-X-1957, L. E. Peña; 1 paratype from Chile, Oortezuelo Buenos Aires, Coquimbo, 7-X-1958, L. E. Peña; 1 paratype from Coquimbo, Los Choros, 2-II-1972, Montenegro; 1 paratype from Choros Bajos, Coquimbo, 2-II-1972, W. Sielfeld. Seven paratypes in MNNC, the allotype and 8 paratypes from the same locality as the holotype. One paratype from: Chile, P. N. La Campana, sector Ocoa, V Región, en bosque quemado, 5-XI-1986, C. Vivar. Allotype and 8 paratypes in UMCE. Twenty-eight additional specimens from the same locality as the allotype and 1 specimen from Quebrada Leones, 20 km N. Caldera, 16-X-1957, L. E. Peña (UMCE). SOLERVICENS 2005: 51 (Exochonotus). OPITZ 2017a: 75.

Diagnosis: The fasciate markings on the elytral disc will distinguish members of this species from P. bicolor, in which elytral fascia are not present (compare Figs 93, 94).

Description: This species was adequately described and illustrated by SOLERVICENS (1998: 81). Additional characteristics involve: Antenna as in Figs 11, 12, pronotum as in Fig. 38, elytral asetiferous punctation striate, epipleural margin serrulate along entire length of epipleural margin, and habitus as in Fig. 93.

Variation: Size: Length 4.0-8.0 mm; width 1.5-3.0 mm. The antennae display

sexual dimorphism with the capitulum much more developed in males (Figs 11, 12).

Distribution (Fig.70): In addition to a paratype I examined 18 specimens from: Chile, Región Coquimbo, Alqui Valley, 21-22-XI-1988; Región Coquimbo, Chañarel de Aceituna, 23-25-X-1957, L. E. Peña; Región Coquimbo, 15 km E Choros bajos, Rio Los Choros, 10-11-XI- 1981, 300 m, D. & M. Davis. Specimens are deposited in CSCA, MNHN, MNNC, RGCG, USNM, WFBM, and WOPC.
