on each side of the smooth median line, constricted and 

 transversely depressed before the base, the five setigerous 

 marginal tubercles well developed. Elytra moderately lon<^-, 

 subparallel in their basal half and arcuately narrowed tlience 

 to the apex, the post-basal depression deep ; with interrupted 

 rows of scattered punctures, which become very fine towards 

 the apex, the scutellar region sometimes with additional 

 scattered punctures, the interstices smooth and flat. 



Length 3^-4 mm. (c? ? •) 



Hah. Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco {Fry). 



Described from three specimens. A fourth example (one 

 of the two from Pernambuco), somewhat immature, with a 

 broader head and prothorax, larger eyes, and more closely 

 punctate elytra, seems to belong to the same species. The 

 elytrul markings are not unlike those of the variable 

 P. niaculatuSj Champ., from Central America, which has 

 the anteanal joiiits 9 and 10 longer and stouter than 

 those preceding, and the elytra regularly striato-punctate. 

 P. vittalus, Reitt., is said to have the elytra ferruginous, 

 with the suture and sides broadly nigro-piceous, and it 

 cannot therefore be conspecific with the present species.

Upper surface. — Head brownish rufous ; antennsR rufous ; 

 thorax and abdomen greyish brown, abdomen washed with 

 blackish. Fore wing: basal half greenish steel-blue washed 

 with olive-brown on costal area and from the base distad ; 

 outer half greenish white or white tinged with Nile-green; 

 terminal band, apex, and submarginal row of large excised 

 patches black-brown washed witli steel-blue ; a post.nedian 

 band of dark greenish steel-blue chevrons joined into a chain- 

 like band. Hind wing similar, only the submarginal band 

 of excised patches is replaced by a second row of chevrons 

 and the white ground of the outer half of the wing is
