PANiscus. 355 



Ferriigiaoiis ; head with the eyes, ocelli and apices of autenna& 

 infuscate ; abdomen falcate, glabrous and nitidulous ; tarsal claws 

 black ; wings hyaline and iridescent, with the costa and stigma pale 

 ferruginous, nervures ferruginous, areolet oblique and triangular.

The type was in poor condition, and was not figured by 

 Waterhouse.

5 . A red and almost immaculate species. Head with the orbits- 

 narrowly pale flavous and the ocellar region black ; face strongly 

 and closely, clypeus sparsely, punctate, with the latter broadly 

 rounded apically. Anteniup. dark red, becoming subinfuscate 

 apically. Thorax with mesonotum subglabrous and but verv 

 iinely j^unclate, notauli distinct only on the apical two-thirds ; 

 metanotum closely and strongly trans-striate, with the base 

 glabrous ; pleurae closely and distinctly punctate, much more 

 strongly than the mesonotum, with the pro- and meso-pleurfe 

 closely, distinctly, and obliquely striate below. Scutellam more 

 strongly punctate than the mesonotum, with lateral cariiiae stout 

 and not coalescing apically. Abdomen immaculate. Lejs red, 

 with the tarsal seta? elongate. Winys hyaline, with the stigma 

 testaceous and the nervures black ; second recurrent uervure 

 unisinuate ; nervelet wanting ; nervellus intercepted slightly above 

 its centre. 



Lenr/th 13 millim. 



Bombay : Belgaum, ix. 10 (N. B. Kinnear) ; Ceylox : Punda- 

 luoya {E. E. Oreen, type). 



Similar to, thougli larger than, P. iniermedius and differing 

 therefrom in its deeper rufescent coloration, nervellus intercepted 

 nearer its centre, scutellar carinse not apically coalescent, vertex 

 broader and less obliquely constricted posteriorly, and in tiie 

 metapleural carinai being much more broadly developed, especially 

 basally. 



I have seen two specimens in the Calcutta Museum, from 

 Knyvett's Hikkim collection, which may belong to this species, but 

 Cameron's description is so featureless and the presumptive 

 representatives in so bad a condition that it is impossible to 

 reconcile tliem with any degree of certainty.
