Hub. Yallingup, S.W. Australia ; both sexes, Nov. 1913, 

 and a female, Dec. 1-12 {R. E. Turner'). British Museum. 



The sexes look very different, but they were associated by 

 the collector, who determined them to belong together 

 by field-observations. 



The species is allied to P. nigrocinctus, Ckll., but readily 

 distinguished by the large size and bright colours. Mr. 

 Turner has determined that P. tenuicincius, Ckll., is the 

 yna.\e of F. nigrocinctus ; he found the sexes together abun- 

 dantly on Leptospermum. The type of F. callander is a 

 female.
