Deceptively similar to Glenea relicta, and confounded with 

 it by Mr. Lewis himself ; the toothed claws, however, at once 

 show its true character ; and the obtuse tnmcation of the elytra 

 is also a constant and conspicuous means of distinguishing it. 

 The ochreous spots of the elytra are an indistinct one (some- 

 times absent) on each side of the base, and two, one behind the 

 other, on the disk towards the middle. The tarsal claws are 

 not " bifid," as in the more typical Fhytcectce, but " appendi- 

 culated," almost as in Oberea.

I have this species in my collection under the above name, 

 but Jiave not succeeded in finding a published description. It 

 is very close to the Em'opean Ph. lineola, differing chiefly in 

 the yellowish-red abdomen, and in the black of the knees ex- 

 tending halfway along the hind part of the femora ; the form 

 and sculpture are tlie same.

The yellowish or tawny-reddisli basal colom- of the elytra 

 covers the humeral callus, extending as a short stripe, down 

 the side from the shoulder, and forms a squarish patch over and
