 Female. Green, smooth, shining, rather slender. Head with the usual 

 struclure, almost as broad as the prolhorax ; a whitish patch on each side 

 of the vertex ; labrum whitish. Eyes pale livid, oval, prominent. Palpi 

 with the usual structure. Antennae tawny, long, slender, pale green 

 towards the base. Prothorax with a flat disk which hardly widens hind- 

 ward and with two luteous stripes on the well-defined lateral keels ; fore 

 border slightly excavated; sides and hind border rounded. Sternum 

 notched in each division. Oviduct much less than half the length of the 

 abdomen. Legs rather stout, moderately long ; femora and four anterior 

 tibicB with very minute spines; hind femora incrassated for much more than 

 half the length from the base ; fore tibise slightly dilated at the base; hind 

 tibiae with rather small spines. Fore wings rather narrow, shorter by half 

 a line than the hind wings; hind border with brown points; large areolets 

 mostly regular ; longitudinal veins with the usual structure. Hind wings 

 pellucid ; apical patch green ; veins greenish white. Length of the body 

 8 lines ; expansion of the fore wings 32 lines. 



It differs from P. subroseata in the costa being like the rest of the fore 

 wings in colour. The stripes on the prothorax and the rather shorter hind 

 tibiee distinguish it from P. congrua. The colour of the antennae and the 

 more regular large areolets of the fore wings distinguish it from P.glauces- 

 cens. The hind tibiae are much shorter than those of P. valida.
