Male. — Green (type discoloured) ; front of head slightly 

 waved; hood pointed, with long strong conical spines, gradually 

 diminishing in length hindwards, but without alternaiely 

 larger and smaller ones ; lateral spines much longer than 

 the others ; front lobe with 3, middle lobe with 2 teeth ; the 

 division between the middle and hind lobe, as well as the 

 central carina of the last, very slightly marked ; tegmina 

 gradually widening for three fourths of their length, when 

 the costa bends obliquely, and the inner margin at rather 

 more than a right angle to the apex, which is rounded off; 

 the three terminal branches of the principal nervure separating 

 close together, the upper and second nearly straight, gradually 

 diverging, the lower one bending downwards, and forking just 

 on the upperside of the apex. Front femora with 5-Q spines 

 on the outer carina and 3-4 on the inner; intermediate 

 femora with 5 pairs (the middle spine wanting on the inner 

 carina of the right middle femur) ; hind femora with 8 or 9 

 spines (not counting the terminal ones) on the outer carina 

 and 5 on the inner. 



This specimen is considerably smaller than Brunner's type 

 of P. truncata ; but I should not be surprised if it ultimately 

 proves to be the male of that insect. It also much resembles 

 the figure of P. speciosa, Blanch, (nee Thunb.). ,
