This species is so nearly like P. fimhriaia Fabr., that, wore it not for 

 the size^ I should place it unhesitatingly there. The difl^erences given 

 by Distant form so slight a characterization and the designations "scutel- 

 lum with apical margin narrowly greyish" for fimhrialn and "scutelhnn 

 somewhat broadly greyish" for viridicollis. are characters which inight 

 easily vary greatly in individuals of the same species. I am inclined to 

 believe that the two species will be united ultimately as fimhriata.
