pedibusque rufis, his geiiiciiHs infuscatis, antenuls basi 

 testaceo apice mfuscato. Long. 3 — 3^ Im. 



Variat tibiarum, antennaramque colore, interdum fere 

 testaceo, interdum piceo. 



Extremely closely allied to our P. longipennis, being 

 similar in size and colour, and varpng in the same 

 manner in the colour of the limbs. P. Idee has the head 

 always broader, and the eyes more prominent, the punc- 

 tuation of the head more distinct, the articulations of the 

 antennae distinctly longer, and the elytra just a little 

 shorter than in longipennis. 



This species is abundant in Japan and China, and I 

 have also specimens of it from Bangkok and Lombock, 

 so that it is widely distribvited in the eastern regions of 

 the old world. Mr. Lewis says, " In immense profusion 

 in China and Japan. I have seen it just at dusk on the 

 banks of the Yangtze in small clouds, on the Aving."

This species is of the size and colour of CE. j^cederinus, 

 but is readily distinguished by its quadrate elytra, but 

 slightly narrowed at the shoulders, and by its more 

 sparingly, punctured thorax and elytra. The head has a 

 few coarse punctures on the disc ; it is about as broad as 

 the thorax. The thorax is much narrower behind ; it has 

 on each side of the middle an irreo:ular lonfjitudinal series 

 01 SIX or seven coarse punctures, and three or four other 

 coarse punctures on each side. The elytra are just as 

 long as the thorax, their base coarsely punctured, their 

 extremity free from punctures. The legs have the knees 

 for a narrow space pitchy, the hind tibiae are rather long 

 and much dilated at the extremity. 



A single individual found at Simabara, in March, 

 1870.
