The depressions on the sides and base of the ocelli are large, 

 deeper and more clearly defined than usual ; the apical tooth of the 

 mandibles is short and broadly rounded ; it is much shorter, broader 

 and not narrowed towards the apex as it is in P. andicola and P.

Salius Why in peri sp. uov. 



Black, densely covered with a purple and violaceous bloom, especially the ab- 

 domen ; the flagellum of the antennae pale fulvous; the wings dark fuscous-vio- 

 laceous. 9 • Length 22 mm. 



Head sparsely covered with longish black hair; the frontal furrow is distinct; 

 the ocelli are separated from the eyes by four times the distance they are 

 from each other. The metanotum is more purplish in tint than the rest of the 

 thorax; it is strongly, irregularly transversely striated; the sides are covered 

 with long black hairs. The post-scutellum is thickly covered with long black 

 hairs. The 2nd cubital cellule is distinctly shorter, above and below, than the 

 3rd ; the 1st recurrent nervure is received near the base of the apical fourth of 

 the cellule; the 2nd near the apex of the basal third ; the third transverse cubi- 

 tal nervure is roundly curved, with the upper part more obliquely sloped. In 

 the hind wings the accessory nervure is received distinctly beyond the trans- 

 verse median. There is a faint hyaline spot at the base of the discoidal cellule. 

 The breast, coxse and trochanters are thickly covered with long black hair; the 

 spines on the tibite and tarsi are black; the claws have one sharp tooth at the

The head has a purple violaceous bloom ; the front has a narrow, but distinct, 

 furrow down its centre; the eyes do not converge much at the top ; the temples 

 are broad, rounded and not narrowed behind. The apex of the clypeus is 

 slightly, broadly incised in the centre, with its sides broadly rounded ; the labrum 

 is distinctly visible. The 2nd and 3rd cubital cellules at the top are equal in 

 length; the first transverse cubital nervure is sharply, the 2nd is less sharply 

 oblique ; the 3rd is broadly, roundly curved ; the 1st recurrent nervure is received 

 at the base of the apical third of the cellule, the 2nd shortly behind the middle. 

 The abdomen has a brighter, more bluish tinge than the thorax ; the apex of the 

 3rd and the following segments have a purple-violaceous hue. The tibial and
