elevated, rather shorter than the sixth ; eij^hth cylindri- 

 cal, obscurely cone-shaped ; appendices of the terminal 

 segment long-, cylindrical, straight, slightly divergent. 

 Head and terminal segments reddish. 



Eambur was unacquainted with the locality of his type, 

 and thought it might be exotic ; but it undoubtedly re- 

 presents this leather local European species.

Asia Minor and South Russia. 



The male of this species is yet unknown. Hagen's 

 type from Asia Minor is a $ , and I possess an example 

 of that sex, received from Professor Zeller {'iiir/riroatris, 

 Zeller, MS.), collected by Kindei-mann in Southern 

 Russia, which I believe to belong- to this species^ though 

 it is considerably smaller (exp.alar. 144 li^^- =30^ mill.) 

 than the dimensions given by Hagen. 



It is a large insect, with the body (rostrum included), 

 save the terminal abdominal segments, deep black, and 

 belonging to section b. The wings are broad and obtuse, 

 slightly tinged with yellowish, and with the black mark- 

 ings strongly indicated. At the base of the disc of the 

 anterior wings is an isolated spot, above which, on the 

 costi, is a smaller one ; before the middle is a broad 

 irregular fascia ; in the middle of the costa a large spot; 

 a broad sub-apical fascia, forked in its lower half, and 

 much constricted before the furcation ; and a broad apical 

 band, enclosing a large hya'ine spot in its lower half. 



The only European species with a complete fascia be- 

 fore the middle.

Indicated by Westwood as perhaps a var. of P. ger- 

 manica, and remarkable for its large red pterostigma. 

 The type is in the collection of Mr. S. S. Saunders, of 

 Corfu, and I am unable to give any more precise infor- 

 mation concerning the species. A Grecian species is 

 also noticed by Stein (Berl. Ent. Zeits., 1863, p. 414)
