This species and Plesia baluchistanensis, Cam., are un- 

 doubtedly incorrectly placed in Plesia. The male of the 

 present species seems to be near Meria ciliata^ Mor., which 

 is only known to me by description, but suhpetiolata is much 

 more strongly punctured,

? . Head nearly half as broad again as long, almost 

 rectangular, smooth and shining, with a few punctures above 

 the base of the antennae; the clypeus advanced and rather 

 broadly truncate at the apex. Scape above clothed with 

 long fulvous hairs, the second joint o-f the flagellum scarcely 

 longer than the first or third. A fringe of long pale fulvous 

 pubescence on the posterior margin of the head. Pronotum 

 smooth and shining, with a few scattered punctures near the 

 anterior margin^ much broader than long, and very little 

 narrowed anteriorly ; propleurse sparsely punctured, with 

 long, thin, greyish pubescence. Mesouotum and scutellum 

 shining, the latter with a few large punctures near the apex, 

 the rnesopleuise punctured and clothed with long greyish 

 pubescence ; a small round depression on each side near the 

 base of the scutellum covered with very short greyish 

 pubescence. Median segment shining, with a deep longi- 

 tudinal sulcus. Abdomen shining, very sparsely and 

 shallowly punctured, with sparse greyish pubescence on the 

 sides. The second cubital cell extends along the transverse 

 cubital nervure for less than one-third the length of that 

 nervure.
