above and wings sordid flavescent, middle of the vertex and apical lateral 
band, frons (basal spot excepted), two minute spots behind the middle 
of the thorax, two median basal spots on the scutellum, an oblong discoi- 
dal spot, and another very large, oblong-obtriangular, lateral spot on both 
sides, extended from the base beyond the middle, also the dorsum of the 
abdomen, black: venter fuscous: tegmina clouded pale fuscous and

to P. subrufa, Walker, in stature, breadth of apical limbus of the tegmina 
and wings, and the form of the thorax, but the frons is more obtuse, 
much less prominent and the coloration and marking very distinct. 
Vertex more than twice as broad as the transverse eye; ocelli almost 
thrice as distant from each other as from the eyes: frons occupying a 
little more than one-third of the face: thorax gradually dilated from the 
base to a distance beyond the middle, thence rounded and abruptly nar- 
rowed : costa moderately dilated, subcostal vein and costa contiguous 
throughout their entire length: seventh apical area of the tegmina shor- 
ter than the eighth : apical limbus of tegmina and wings of equal breadth, 
that of the tegmina colourless: opercula somewhat longer than their 
greatest breadth, yellow-greyish, infuscate at the base (Séal).
