Species o/Ceropalidse /roni the Khasia Hills. 423 



Length 10-11 mm. 



Antennae black, the scape covered with pale pubescence ; 

 the third joint about one third longer than the fourth. Head 

 closely punctured ; below the antennae thickly covered with 

 silvery pubescence ; there is a shallow furrow on the lower 

 part of the front. Eyes curved on the inner side, not con- 

 verging. Pronotum bearing shallow punctures (except on 

 the apex, which is depressed). Mesoiiotum with scutellum 

 closely punctured. Median segment coarsely transversely 

 striated ; the base with a shallow furrow in the middle. 

 Mesopleurse closely punctured ; the punctures on the lower 

 part of the raetapleurse run into striations. The second 

 cubital cellule in front is slightly, but distinctly, shorter 

 than the third; the first recurrent is received in the middle, 

 the second at the basal third of the cellule. Tegulae deep 

 black. 



Comes near to P. blancla; it may be known from that species 

 by the head and thorax being closely and distinctly, rather 

 strongly, punctured all over; the metanotum in particular is 

 much more coarsely and irregularly transversely striated ; it is 

 more pubescent and not so thickly covered with white pile ; 

 the alar nervures and stigma are black, not piceous; and the 

 propleurse are more distinctly hollowed.
