Type, P. producta, Spin., from the Malayan Archipelago. 



Distribution. Oriental aud Malayan Regions. 



Head (including eyes) a little narrower than pronotum ; vertex 

 somewhat longly and subacutely produced in front, centrally ridged, 

 its lateral areas oblique ; face longer than broad, smooth, its base 

 angularly narrowed, its lateral margins slightly ridged ; clypeus 

 moi'e or less obliquely striate on its lateral areas ; pronotum 

 extending before the anterior margins of eyes, strongly centrally 

 carinate, obhquely deflected on each side ; mesonotum long, 

 obliquely deflected on each side, tricarinate ; posterior tibiae 

 bispinose ; tegmina as broad or slightly broader than wings, 

 apically ampliate, the costal margin arched and convex, the apical 

 margin truncate, its posterior angle angularly or subangularly 

 produced ; costal membrane about as broad or slightly narrower 

 than radial area, the former somewhat closely transversely veined, 

 many of the veins furcate, the latter reticulately veined, all the 

 tegmen more or less transversely reticulate except on apical margin, 

 where the veins are shortly longitudinal defining a marginal series 

 of elongate cellular areas ; clavus transversely veined above the 

 claval vein, beneath it coarsely granulate ; wings with one or two

* Melichar (supra) has included Cromna, Walk. (J. Linn. Soc, Zool. i. p. 85, 

 1857), as a synonym of Phylliji>hanta, but shortly after, in his Monograph 

 (p. 58), he treats it as a distinct genus, incorrectly giving the type as C. per- 

 acuta, Walk., which is really the type of Co/yar, Kirk.
