Apart from the peculiar coloration of this species, it may be 

 distinguished by the long and apically convex tegmina, which are 

 obliquely rounded at both apex and posterior margin. Dr. Melichar 

 includes rubicunda as a synonym of P. Jloccosa, Guer. ; had he 

 consulted the figure, to Avliich he does not refer, such a misunder- 

 standing would have been impossible.

Dr. Melichar has treated this species as a synonym o'i F. floccosa, 

 Guer. : it, however, does not differ from P. hcmiifera, ^yalk., which 

 he enumerates as a distinct species.
