 and a black spot in front of each anterior angle of basal cruci- 

 form elevation. Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the first

Allied to P. maculaticollis^ Motsch., but differing from that 

 species by the darker and more obscure hue of the body, the 

 distinctly pale fuscous tegmina and wings, and by the length 

 of the rostrum, which considerably passes the posterior coxai 

 and terminates on the overlapping opercula. 



The head is also much narrower than in P. maculaticoUis, 

 and the opercula are unicolorous and more convex poste- 

 riorly.
