minutely shagreened surface ; lateral margins narrowly reflexed, 
hindmargin slightly convex, finely subserrate, hindangles pro- 
duced. Meso- and metanotum similar, impressed dots more 
numerous. KElytra lobiform, almost free, scabrous, exceeding the 
mesonotum. Tibi and tarsi partly or wholly black, coxe black, 
bordered yellow ; femora red. Abdomen nearly smooth, hind- 
margins of segments with minute distant, raised strie ; hind- 
angles of segments three to six produced into successively larger, 
flat, acute spines ; underside blackish, hindmargins of all segments 
scabrous. Supra-anal lamina of male subtransverse, narrower 
behind, rugulose, lateral margins reflexed, middle depressed ; 
angles acute, spinelike ; hindmargin ciliate, nearly straight. Cerci 
sublanceolate, ciliate, much shorter than lamina; black, apex 
red. Subgenital lamina of male transverse, subquadrate, later- 
ally much incrassated ; hindmargins subsinuous, angles produced 
as obtuse spines. Styles red, inserted in an excavation of the 
lateral ridge exterior to the terminal spines and in a line with the 
hindmargin. Collection S.A. Museum.

The species resembles P. castanea, nova-realandie, and pseudo- 
castanea in aspect, but differs in the colors of the tibie and tarsi, 
and especially in the structure of the supra-anal and subgenital 
lamina.

hindmargin black ; disk anteriorly with a black figure in the 
middle like the conventional flying birds in diagrams ; a curved 
black oblique streak on each side, acute in front, broad in the 
middle, converging towards the middle of the hindmargin and 
rotundately joining that from the opposite side. Mesonotum 
with fore- and hindmargin black as far as the elytra, slightly 
raised, distant diverging ridges medially, and a small oval black 
dot on each side near the middle. Hlytra lobiform, free, acwmi- 
nate, apex black. Metanotum with foremargin black in the 
middle, hindmargin black throughout, in the disk a short black 
streak on each side ; no raised ridges. Wang lobes discernible, not 
free. Legs, underside of thorax, and lateral margins of abdomen
