Dark reddish, elongate-elliptical, minutely punctured, thickly speckled 

 with pale yellowish, whitish beneath. Head with seven pale yellow lines ; 

 hind part black, with one yellow line. Eyes blackish. Rostrum pale. 

 Antenna? piceous-red. Thorax with a yellow line; sides very narrowly 

 yellow; hind angles slightly prominent. Scutellum less thickly speckled 

 than the thorax, with a yellow line at the base, with a yellow spot on each 

 basal angle, and with one at the tip. Pectus and under side of the abdomen 

 with four red stripes, the inner pair composed of transversely elongated 

 spots. Legs whitish, thickly red-speckled ; femora towards the base and a 

 band on the tibice unspeckled ; tarsi piceous. Fore wings with an 

 elongated pale yellow spot in the disk ; membrane brown, with seven white 

 stripes. Length of the body o| lines. 



The smaller size, the more obtuse angles of the thorax and the spot on 

 each of the fore wings will distinguish it from P. australasia, P. apicalis, 

 P. patrnelis, P. calidus, P. conspersus and P. cognatus. The spot on each 

 fore wing distinguishes it from P. gravis, P. linealus, P. strigatus, 

 P. eximius, P. histricus and P. fasciatus.
