fitib-apical fascia furcate in its lower half, and a broadly 

 black apex, in which are two pale dots. The third abdo- 

 minal segment (c?) scarcely produced in the middle of 

 the apex above; sixth oblong, the upper surface concave 

 and produced at the anex in a triangular form, the sides 

 excised (not edged with yellow) ; seventh and eighth 

 cone-shapecl, short, narrow at the base, and very much 

 dilated at the apex ; appendices of the terminal segment 

 linenr, flattened, approximating at the base and apex (a 

 small lobe at the base of the claws of this segment). 

 Head and terminal segments bright reddish. 



This species has the sixth segment formed after the 

 manner of that in the succeeding species, but the seventh 

 and eighth both cone-shaped, as in the preceding.

P. anncxa, De Selys, MS. ; P. meridioiialis, Schneider, 

 Stett. Zeit. 1845, p. 340 {nco Rambur) , P. cognata, var., 

 Hagen, Ann, Soc. Ent. France, 18G0, p. 747, {neo 

 Rambur) . 



Monte Viso (Piedmont), Sicily; probably in all Italy. 



All the markings smaller and less intense than in P. 

 meridiondli's, the apical border enclosing one large hyaline 

 spot in its lower half; the veins less strongly black. 

 Third abdominal segment {S) slightly produced in the 

 middle of its apical margin above; sixth short, quadrate, 

 broader than long, the lateral margins deeply excised 

 (ordinarily edged with yellow) , the apex above scarcely 

 produced ; seventh longer than the sixth, inserted below 

 the excision, viewed from the side its lower edge is 

 straight, its upper edge greatly swollen near the base, 

 then deeply concave, and finally raised at the apex; 

 eighth sub-cylindrical, scarcely cone-shaped, slightly 

 swollen above towards the base ; appendices of the last 

 segment straight, linear, flattened, slightly divergent 

 from base to apex (a small lobe at the base of the claws 

 of this segment) . Head, rostrum, and terminal segments 

 ordinarily reddish. 



Hitherto confounded with P. meridionah's, but very 

 distinct. The examples from Monte Viso (Ghiliani) are 

 smaller than those from Sicily, and darker; the head 

 sometimes marked with blackish, and the apical margin 

 of the sixth segment not edged with yellow.
