body beneath and legs ochraceous ; transverse striae to face, a 

 fascia between face and eyes, and apical area of abdomen black ;

 and transverse veins at bases of second and third apical areas 

 iufuscate.

In colour and markings very closely allied to H. nicomache, but 

 diifering from that species by the greater length of the rostrum, 

 which considerably passes the posterior coxa% and not only just 

 extending beyond their apex as in Walker's species, the opercula 

 in the male are only half the length of the abdomen ; the principal 

 colour-difference is found in the dorsal surface of the abdomen, 

 which is more castaneous and less black than in II. nicomache.

 note ; Dist. A. M. N. H. (7) xv, p. 65 (1905). 



Type, P. spinosa, Fabr., a Malayan species. 



Distrihution. Oriental and Malayan Eegions ; also found in 

 Tonkin and Hainan. 



Head (including eyes) about as wide or a little wider than 

 base of mesonotum, about or almost as long as breadth 

 between eyes ; pronotum centrally about or almost as long as 

 mesonotum (excluding basal cruciform elevation), its lateral 

 margins always distinctly, sometimes strongly, and generally 

 acutely toothed ; abdomen considerably longer than space 

 between apex of head and base of cruciform elevation ; tympana 

 completely covered ; rostrum reaching or passing the posterior 

 coxc© ; opercula more or less elongate, concavely sinuate on each 

 side of basal area, their apices rounded or subacute, occupying 

 lateral abdominal areas, always well separated and seldom 

 reaching disk ; tegmina and wings hyaline, the venation some- 

 times fuscously spotted. 



I use Stal's name for this genus, as the type he proposed {Cic. 

 favida, Guor.) is included in it. His description, however, 

 cannot be accepted, as, evidently referring to Guerin's figure 

 only, he states, " ramo vense ulnaris interioris recto vel leviter 

 curvato," a character given by the artist and not found in the 

 species.
