I hâve only a single female from Macao (Kershaw), and do not 

 possess White's original description. M y spécimen di fiers princi- 

 pally from Distant's as follows : 



The pronotum is extraordinarily particoloured; the anterior 

 third violaceous with a large sublateral black transverse spot on 

 each side, whose anterior margins are connected along the deep 

 transverse incision (this Connecting line being somewhat sufl'used 

 medially towards the apical margin of the pronotum); the space 

 between the spots and basai of the Connecting line is impunctate, 

 ochraceous; the posterior third is bluishgreen with 5 longitudinal 

 black stripes, the médian one very thick, and none of them quite 

 reaching the base of the pronotum. The scutellum is ochraceous, 

 the base (uarrowly and not quite percurrently, at the margins) 

 blackish with a purplish gleam; a transverse purplish-black stripe 

 (posterior to the basai swelling) which does not of itself reach the 

 latéral margins, but is connected therewith by a greenish suffusion; 

 posterior to this stripe are two sublateral transversely rounded 

 spots and one subapical, of the same colour. The latéral margins 

 of the scutellum are very narrowly tinged, with greenish basally, 

 with violaceous apically. The spiracular spots, etc. are purplish 

 (not blackish), and the apical urosternites are only partially 

 suffused with blackish.

 Tai-wan. 



In two examples, there are no spots dorsally, but the pronotum 

 anteriors, and scutellum anteriorly and mediolonjgitudinally, are 

 somewhat blackly nebalose; this form may be at once separated 

 from poorly macked nepalensis by the différent bucculae.

143. /'. latus (Dallasj. — Hong-Kong. 



144. P. plenisignatus (Walker). — Hong-Kong. 



145. Solenosthedium chinense (StAl). — Macao (Kershaw). 



The black punctures on the dorsum, described by Stâl, are 

 really shining emerald green, sometimes slightly infuscate.
