niaigiii witli an elongate triangular fulvous spot reacliiug 

 from apex to beyond niitldle; nienibratie hyaline ; ventral 

 segments -with a pale yellow spot at the apical angles ; 

 anteinite with the first two joints testaceous, the basal one 

 with a fuscous streak ou each side, the last three joints 

 fuscous black, with the base testaceous ; rostrum and legs 

 pale testaceous, the former withtiie last joint fuscous. Head 

 impunctate, but with an impressed punctate area at the 

 exterior base of the jiiga and an impressed punctured longi- 

 tudinal line on each side of vertex before the ocelli, which 

 are as remote from the eyes as from each other, antennre a3 

 long as the body without the anal spines, tirst joint distinctly 

 ])assing apex of head, second as long as third which is a 

 little shorter than fourth and conspicuously longer than fifth, 

 rostrum reaching apical margin of tliird ventral ses^inenN 

 Pronotum, except the smootii transverse elevated subapical 

 area, strongly but very irregularly punctate, the whole 

 posterior part (behind the elevated transverse area) with an 

 anteriorly widened median line, an oblique sublateral vitta, a 

 rounded spot inside this, and some smaller anterior spots and 

 waved transverse lines impunctate, pronotal lateral margins 

 straight. Scutelluni coarsely punctate, postfrenal part finely 

 punctulate, a small callus at the basal angles, a percurrent 

 median line, and the apex impunctate, the lateral margins 

 slightly sinuate at apex of frena. Pectus impunctate, a trans- 

 verse row of fuscous punctures near apical margin of pro- 

 sternum, ])osterior part of propkurse remotely punctured with 

 fuscous, median keel of mesosternum low and very narrow. 

 Hemelytra passing apex of genital segment by nearly one- 

 third the length of the memb ane, corium strongly punctin-ed, 

 mesocoiium in the basal half of its exterior border impunctate. 

 Abdomen impunctate, beneath in the female rather deeply 

 and broadly longitudinally sulcate down the middle, the 

 furrow narrower and less deep in the sixth segment, at the 

 base of which it is narrowly interrupted, apical spinelets of 

 fifth segment somewhat curved, apical spines of sixth segment 

 a little longer than genital segment and last ventral segment 

 taken together, passing apex of membrane, directed siraight 

 backwards, but curved a little outward at the base and a little 

 uj)ward at the apex. 



Length (excl. membrane and anal spines), ? , 7'5 mm. 



Philippine Islands : Mt. Banahao, Luzon {C F. Baker). 



More nearly related to P. colox, Bredd., than to any other 

 known species, but very distinct in several characters. 



To Breddin's very good generic description I have only to 

 add that the evaporative area is large, transversely oval.
