('pl.37, fig.l2) . In some species petiole of the cubitus is very short

The only larva which I have found belonging to this genus is 

 that of adumbratus n. sp. (pl.20j figs.1-5). Pupae of the 

 above species and of P. p i n g u i s Lw. will be found described 

 upon a subsequent page (pl.l9, figs.3-4, and pl.20, figs. 4 and 5).
