FULGOEID^i:. 



lateral margins strongly ridged, and subobsoletely medially eari- 

 nate ; clypeus long, obsoletely medially carinate, distinctly finely 

 obliquely carinate on each side of anterior disk ; posterior tibiae 

 very obsoletely spined ; pronotum continued to between eyes, 

 where it is convex and slightly centrally sniuate, central carination 

 obsolete ; mesonotum large, convex, obsoletely tricarinate ; tegmina 

 broad, apically rounded, including both apical and posterior angles, 

 costal membrane narrower than radial area, transversely veined, 

 many of the veins furcate ; radial area with oblique veins reticu- 

 lately connected, longitudinal veins beyond basal area more or less 

 obscurely transversely reticulate, the transverse veins forming 

 two ill-defined transverse lines on apical area ; clavus above claval 

 vein transversely veined, beneath the vein thickly granulate ; 

 wings about as broad as tegmina, with transverse and transversely- 

 oblique veins in anal area. 



To be distinguished from Flatosoma, Melich. (type P. signoreti, 

 Melich.), by the different shape of the face, venation of wings, &c.

piceous lines, the first above clavus, the second and longer on disk 

 beyond middle, sometimes a cluster of minute piceous speckles 

 above the lowermost linear spot, but these are inconstant, and in 

 the type specimen are found on one tegmen and not on the other ; 

 wings cretaceous-white.

Hah. Hylhet {Staviforth, Brit. Mus.). 



Melichar (Ann. Hofmus. AVien, xvi, p. 245, t. vii, f. 14, 1901) 

 describes and figures a species in his genus Flatosoma as F. comma, 

 "Walk., which is not that species and is probably not congeneric 

 with it. The British Museum possesses an undescribed species 

 from Borneo which exactly agrees with Melichar's figure.
