Hab. Yallingnp, S.W. Australia ; both sexes, Nov. 1913, 

 and a female, Dec. 1-12 {R. E. Turner^. British Museum. 



The sexes look very diflercut, but they were associated by 

 the collector, who determined tliein to belong together 

 by field-observations. 



The species is allied to P. nigrocinctus, Ckll., but readily 

 distingnibhed by the large size and bright colours. !Mr. 

 Turner has determined that /-*. tenuicincti/s, Ckll., is the 

 male of P. nigrocinctus ; he found the sexes together abun- 

 dantly ou Lepioapermum. The type of P. callander is a 

 female.
