Head pale, a black LnterantennaJ mark, two transverse rows of black spots 

 across vertex; pronotum black, a narrow median pale line, and on each side 

 B Bpo1 in front and a line behind; mesonotum with pale spot and stripe each 

 Bide. Abdomen black. Legs mostly black, hind tibia pale on outer basal half,- 

 femora and tibia with black bristles, some black and many white hairs; basal 

 joint n( tarsus twice as long as the second, spurs equal almost two joints, but 

 little curved except near tip, the claws hardly one half as long as the spurs. 

 Wings hyaline; veins pale, marked with black, mostly in long streaks. A- in 

 /'. i //script it* there is in the fore wing a prominent flexuous dark line, formed 

 by connecting the oblique mark at end of anal with that up from end of cubitus, 

 t his line is not as deeply incurved as in P. inscriptus. In both fore wings there 

 i- a strong vein from forking of cubitus obliquely upward and backward to the 

 median, possibly this is abnormal. The wings are narrower than in P. in- 

 acriptus, and the costal area has but a single series of cells.

Pale, rat her reddish, an indist inct dark band below antennae, and faint dark 

 marks on vertex, pronotum with remnants of two submedian dark lines, and a 

 sinuous line each side, rest of thorax with few sinuous dark lines and dots, 

 pleura with two dark stripes, the upper one just below the wings; abdomen 

 pale, second segment with dark at base and near tip, /Others with dark just 

 before lip: Legs pale, tibiae and femora somewhat dotted with dark. Wings 

 hyaline, venation rather rufous, the cross-veins mostly black, and other veins 

 at junction with cross-veins; stigma and faint sp >t ;>i end of cubitus dark; 

 a prominent black spot at base of fore wing; hind wings with veins only 

 slightly marked with dark. Structurally similar to /•.'. macer^ but antennae 

 Bborter, legs less slender, spurs equal three tarsal joints; wings hardly as
