Male. Dull testaceous, tomentose. Head as broad as the proihorax, 

 prominent between the sockets, fore part shining, with a broad black band 

 including three transverse yellow lines. Eyes testaceous, slightly elongated, 

 rather prominent, narrowest in front. Palpi testaceous ; third joint clavate, 

 obliquely truncated, excavated at the tip, longer than the second. Antennae 

 ferruginous, piceous towards the base, more than twice the length of the 

 body; first joint large. Prothorax transverse; sides slightly rounded. 

 Abdomen piceous, testaceous at the tip. Cerci testaceous, nearly as long as 

 the abdomen. Hind tibiae minutely seriated, and with five rather short 

 spines on each side. Fore wings testaceous-cinereous, exlendinaj to the tip 

 of the abdomen : space towards the tip reticulated; subcostal space with 

 twelve oblique slightly curved veins, those towards the base very near each 

 other, the twelfth forked. Hind wings extending much beyond the fore 

 wings. Length of the body 12 lines. 



The structure of the fore wings of this species is very different from 

 that of P. subnotatus. The space towards the tips is much larger and the 

 veins near the costa are more remote from each other. It resembles 

 P. transversus in structure.
