380 Mr. B. P. Uvarov on 



without a constriction ; prozona a little shorter than meta- 

 zona ; median keel well developed, rather sharp; lateral 

 keels rather feeble and irregular^ subparallel between the 

 fore margin and the first sulcus, feebly divergent between 

 that and the third sulcus, and more strongly divergent and 

 better developed in the metazona, reaching the hind margin ; 

 obtusangularly rounded ; hind angle straight, with the sides 

 slightly concave; lateral margins of the disc not coincident 

 with the lateral keels, but indicated by a slightly raised 

 line running outwardly and below the lateral keels ; surface 

 of the disc neither punctured nor rugulose, smooth but 

 shining ; lateral lobes rugulose throughout. Elytra extend- 

 ing a little beyond the hind knees ; their venation very 

 much like that of the above-described Ph. vittata, Uvar., 

 but the discoidal area a little longer, tliough still not reach- 

 ing the middle of the elytra, with an irregular false vein 

 throughout ; interulnar area with only one row of rather 

 regular cells and without any trace of a false vein. Hind 

 femora thick and short, with only apical fourth attenuate. 



General coloration greyish fawn, with a brown and black 

 design. Along the head and pronotum runs a paler median 

 fascia, included between two velvety black fasciae, which 

 start from the sides of the fastigium, coincide with the 

 lateral keels in the prozona, and run within these on the 

 metazona, where the keels are pale. Face, sides of the 

 head, lateral lobes of the pronotum, mesonotum, and meta- 

 notum unicolorous, indistinctly dotted with grey points. 

 Pectus and the base of the abdomen of the general colour, 

 though of lighter shade ; the apical half of the abdomen 

 reddish both above and beneath, but the apex itself 

 yellowish. Fore and middle legs fawn, without any spots 

 or points. Hind femora with three well-pronounced black 

 fasciae on the upperside, the hindmost of them being partly 

 extended on the externo-median area ; that area of the 

 general coloration with a few black points along the lower 

 carina ; the inner side bright red, except the preapical ring, 

 which is ivory and extends all round the femur ; the knee 

 brown above, black inside, black with brown lobes on the 

 outside. Hind tibiae bright red, with black base, a broad 

 ivorj^ subbasal ring, and black-tipped spines. Hind tarsi 

 buff. Elytra with the basal half of the mediastinal area 

 slightly darkened ; discoidal field with a row of irregular 

 brown spots ; an oblique brownish fascia beyond the middle; 

 the apical fourth infumate, with a faint indication of oblique 

 fasciaj. Wings distinctly infumate at the apex and to the 

 middle of the outer margin.
