vertex and along the inner orbits of the eyes are black hairs intermixed 

 with the grey ; the 2nd, 3rd and 4th abdominal segments are strongly 

 fringed at apex with white or whitish pubescence, 5th segment with 

 black, fringed laterally with whitish pubescence ; on the anterior legs 

 the pubescence is somewhat sparse and fuscous grey ; on the intermediate 

 and posterior tibiae and tarsi it is bright fulvous outside, black inside ; 

 winos hyaline, nervures and tegulas piceous. 



$ Second joint of flagellum equal to next three united. Black; 

 clypeus rather pale yellow, claws and apical tarsal joints more or less 

 rufo -testaceous, calcaria piceous ; pubescence grey above, blackish on 

 apical two abdominal segments, below whitish, very long and silky ; 

 clypeus and front with very long silky white pubescence, fringed with 

 black hairs on vertex and along inner orbits; legs with long grey 

 pubescence, apical joint of intermediate tarsi with a very slight tuft of 

 black hairs, many of the spines on the tarsi rufous or rufescent; wings 

 hyaline, nervures and tegulse piceous. 



Long. 12-13 mm. 



Habitat — Quetta ; not uncommon at fruit tree blossoms in the early 

 spring. 



The 9 is nearest to P. testaceipes (Mor.) and P. chrysocnemis (Mor.). 



From the former it can be distinguished by the pubescence on the 

 inside of the posterior tibise and tarsi being black ; from the latter by 

 the pubescence on the thorax being greyish and not yellow. 



The $ is nearest to P. ventilabris (Leq.) from Algeria, but can be 

 distinguished by the pubescence on the thorax being grey and not 

 rufous.

9 Differs from the same sex of P. connexus above in being constantly 

 smaller, and in the pubescence on intermediate and posterior tarsi being 

 grey and not fulvous. 



$ Differs from the same sex of P. connexus in being smaller, and in 

 having the labrum, scape in front, and a small mark on the inner orbits 

 of the eyes yellow. 



Long. 11-12 mm. 



Habitat — Quetta; common in the spring ; it appears somewhat later 

 than P. connexus. 



I took 9 and $ of this species in coitu. Both sexes of this species 

 are allied to P. uljaninii (Fodt.) ; the 9 however differs from the same
