above. Middle and hind coxae and femora dark reddish, the 

 tibiae dull blackish; metatarsi more or less infuscate, the more 

 apical joints testaceous ; apex of abdomen more or less pale. 

 Wings with only two dark fasciae, the narrow middle one being 

 confluent below with the basal one, the submedian cell being en- 

 tirely dark on its apical portion, the median cell clear at the apex. 



Head dull, longitudinally rugose and with minute surface sculp- 

 ture ; third antcnnal joint about twice as long as the fourth, the 

 latter and the fifth notably widened, the following ones being 

 considerably thinner. Pronotum longitudinally rugose, very 

 finely so on the disc, more strongly at the sides, and in front 

 with a lateral smooth, polished area. Mesonotum very dull, with 

 extremely fine sculpture medially between the parapsidal fur- 

 rows, which are distinct, and much more roughly sculptured 

 outside these. Propodeum above with regular longitudinal wrin- 

 kles, posteriorly and laterally strongly reticulate. Abdomen black 

 or nearly so, not red basally, very smooth and shining. Length 

 8 mm. 



Somewhat resembles P. gigas, but very distinct by the color 

 of the wings, antennae and abdomen, and the quite different 

 mesonotal sculpture. 



Hab. China, Hong Kong ; a single example collected by the late

 the tibiae. Pronotum rufescent along the hind-margin and at 

 the sides, the anterior margin very narrowly pale. Wings with 

 the usual three transverse fasciae distinct, the basal one being 

 well separated from the narrow median one by the hyaline apical 

 portions of the median and submedian cells. 



Head dull, densely sculptured and with some fine longitudinal 

 wrinkles. Pronotum with dense, fine sculpture, mesonotum dull 

 with dense sculpture, distinctly smoother and sometimes a little 

 shining in the middle between the fine parapsidal furrows.
