Brick-red with the dorsum, femora, tips of tegmina, tip of the wings 
and several spots on them of a blackish-brown ; on the anterior margin of 
the tegmina several black spots and a slight filiform, recurved cephalic 
process. Head broader than long, vertex square, a little transverse, with 
a transverse ridge and a fovea on each side of the eyes: frons convex, 
without a ridge on the anterior margin, a black filiform appendage, with 
a longitudinal groove, reaching almost the end of the mesonotum : ros- 
trum of a reddish-brown, reaching the end of the abdomen, the third 
joint, the longest: pronotum almost five times broader than long, pos- 
terior margin concave, anterior convex with a median emargination 
which gives it a bilobed appearance, presenting on each side, beneath 
the eyes, a strong emargination: lateral margins convex and black, a 
slight ridge on the disc: mesonotum weakly tricarinate, and exhibiting 
towards its extremity two small brown dots. Tegmina with a broad 
apical band formed of a network of yellow veinlets on a brown ground ; 
on the anterior margin are numbers of black dots, the clavial vein near 
the fold of the tegmen with 8-5 black dots: wings transparent in the 
middle, slightly bluish and exhibiting there about a dozen more or less 
regular brownish spots ; tip brownish ; the border, also the folded part 
near the abdomen, slightly infuscate : abdomen red beneath, black above, 
with the end of the segments and the lateral margins, red ; each segment, 
especially those of the extremity, covered with a thick farinose substance : 
feet with the tibize red and the femora black, the posterior with three strong 
spines on the external side (Sign.) Body long, 16; exp. teg. 50 millims. 
Reported from Cochin-China; the Indian Museum has a specimen 
(with the filiform cephalic process wanting) from Tenasserim. Stal 
unites this with P. nigro-maculata, Guérin, but though structurally the 
same, the coloration of the tegmina leaves no doubt as to specific identity.
