A very distinct and beautiful species, of which a single ex- 
ample is in my cabinet, from the Chevrolat Collection, labelled 
from the Cape of Good Hope. It differs from P. puichella i 
having the medial band extended to the margin, and the apical 
marking not well defined as in that species, but indeterminate 
and merging anteriorly into simply black punctures. 
8. P. pulchella, n. sp. 
P. ovata, sat convexa, punctato-striata, rufo-flava ; capite transverse 
arcuato-foveolato, nigro: thorace transverso, latitudine fere dupla 
longitudinis, lateribus ad basin parallelis, ad apicem rotundatis ; 
disco subtilissime punctato, rarius sed fortiter ad marginem ipsum, 
eeneo-nigro: scutello triangulari, levi: elytris sat rotundatis, 
punctato-striatis, punctis equalibus, minutis, ad apicem obsoletis ; 
colore rufo-flavis, maculis quibusdam nigris, ]. a medio basi (haud 
suturam attingens) oblique ad striam ie indeque per striam 
10™™, apicem versus sed haud attingens ; 2. transversa, antemedia, 
lata, a sutura usque ad striam 6", et inde macula 1™ confluens ; 
3. altera postmedia, brevis, obliqua apicem versus, striam 4“™ attin- 
gens (hanc juxta undique, inter strias 4“ et 5" macula parva, 
insulata) ; 4. apicalis, inter strias 4°" et 5%", subcircularis ; sutura 
etiam (latior) et margines (subtilissime) nigrini apparent : corpore 
subtus, pedibus antennisque nigris.

A beautiful species, and apparently quite distinct from others : 
to be distinguished from P. nigro-fasciata (inter alia) by the 
narrowness of the antemedial and the presence of a postmedial 
transverse fascia. 
In the cabinet of Mr. Baly, to whom I am indebted for the 
opportunity of describing it here with its congeners.
