Antennae brownish, darker above and at the apex ; basal two joints 

 black, the second yellowish beneath; third joint longer than basal 

 joint, and than the fourth and fifth together. Head coarsely punc- 

 tured below the vertex, the greater part of the face below the antennae, 

 the sides behind, the lower half of the eyes broadly, the inner orbits 

 narrowly (the yellow or inner orbits continued across the vertex to the 

 back where it joins the yellow, which is prolonged from the outer orbits 

 so that thus a large black space is surrounded by yellow behind the 

 eye), two fasciae along the lateral sutures on vertex, and a small mark 

 at outer side of antennae, yellow. Thorax black; tegulae, pronotum, 

 a broad fascia on mesonotum in front, scutellum, and post-scutellum, 

 yellow. Abdomen black at the base and narrowly at the sides, the rest 

 reddish, underside yellow. Legs yellow, the tarsi testaceous. Wings 

 hyaline, nervures blackish, stigma testaceous. 



The $ has the face below the antennae, the mandibles, except at 

 apex, and the basal joints of antennae beneath, yellow ; the fasciae on 

 vertex are generally obsolete. 



Length 5 6 lines. 



A somewhat variable species in the amount of yellow 

 colour on the head and thorax and of the fulvous on 

 the abdomen ; the intensity of the punctuation on the 

 head also varies. The P. albo-pictus, Thorns., seems 

 to be a variety of depressus, chiefly differing from the 

 type in the greater amount of white on the pleuras,
