Hah. Kuranda, N. Queensland {Turner), February 1902; 

 one female. 



This is most nearly allied to the group of P.Jlavoguttatus, 

 Westw., but differs very much in colour from any described 

 species.

A male without data in the British Museum is probably 

 the type of congener. Shuckard's description seems to refer 

 to the female, though he does not mention the terebra.
