fourth abdominal segments, are adorned with scales. The femora 

 liave a subapical ring of similar scales, but it is more or less inter- 

 rupted on the upper surface of each femur.

This species is rather less than P. monilifenis, and of a narrower 

 form, and so far agrees with P. Eric/isotii : its thorax however is 

 much less globose, approaching somewhat to a cylindrical form, 

 though it is still swollen in the middle ; the legs are decidedly 

 shorter and more slender ; the elytra are impunctate, and there 

 are differences in the colouring and markings. The general 

 colour of the insect is brilliant copper-red. The rostrum is very 

 delicately punctured and has a somewhat shallow triangular fovea, 

 the base of which forms a transverse line opposite the insertion of 

 the antennae ; there is a round spot between the eyes, and another 

 on each side beneath the eye, formed of brilliant green scales, as 

 are all the other spots on the insect. The thorax is impunctate, 

 and has a small spot above on each side situated midway between 

 the base and apex, and a second larger spot just above the inser- 

 tion of the femur. The elytra have eighteen smallish spots ; four 

 of these are at the base, one on each side near the outer margin, 

 and one on each side at a short distance from the scutellum — 

 these spots are of an oval form : in the middle of the elytra is a 

 transverse row consisting of six round spots, and a little behind 

 the line of these spots is an oblong spot on each side placed close 

 to the outer margin and one placed on the suture ; a second 

 sutural spot is observable near the apex of the elytra, and two 

 others on each side of this, two being placed rather above the 

 line of the last mentioned sutural spot and two below and more 

 near the tip of the elytra.
