 the apex, second by the third cubital cell at the extreme base.

Somewhat allied to P. jmnciulatum , Kohl, but is less 

 coarsely punctured and differs in neuration. It is also near 

 P. nittdum, Sm., from Aru, of which I have not seen the 

 type, and is probably identical with P. morosum, Sm., 1864, 

 from New Guinea, which is not identical with P. morosum. 

 Sm., 1856, which is from New Zealand. P. palUdipalpe, 

 Sm., differs in the position of the first recurrent nervure, in 

 the deeper sulcus with a carina on the median segment, and 

 in the lonoer and slenderer tarsi.
