lower mouth-parts, the apical third of the antennae, a spot 

 on each side of the base of the abdomen, and the pulvilli 

 yellowish or tawny. Front femora unarmed. Pronotura 

 slightly concave on the front edge in the male. The front 

 part is separated as usual by a curved depression from the 

 raised hinder part, which is slightly bituberculate in the 

 male. Abdomen covered with large depressed punctures ; 

 terminal plate with the hinder edge veiy slightly waved in 

 the male, and scarcely at all in the female. Tegmiua shining 

 purplish brown, with the anal nervure narrowly yellow. 

 Beyond the costal convexity is a paler space, crossed by 

 oblique dark nervures. Wings smoky hyaline, with the 

 costa and apex purplish brown. 



Ilab. Animalli Hills, 8. India. 



Allied to P. plagiita, Walk, (inermis, Brunn.), from 

 Ceylon ; but that species has a yellow band on the tegmina. 

 The too brief description of P. antennata, Brunn., from 

 Burma, might apply to this insect ; but the former has 

 spines on the front femora.

 black ; under surface and legs mostly reddish chestnut. 

 Prothorax with a rounded concavity on the frontal margin, 

 leaving the vertex visible ; front of prothorax sparingly 

 punctured, with three shallow carina3, the middle one very 

 line, converging behind, where a shallow lyrate depression, 

 sparingly punctured, separates the front of the pronotum 

 from the slightly raised and more thickly punctured hinder 

 part. Front femora with a terminal spine beneath, and a 

 preceding one on the left femur ; pulvilli yellow. Abdomen
