Head fuscous, frons flat, margin and median line elevated : thorax 

 dull black, a dorsal and smaller incurved lateral line, elevated : abdomen 

 fuscous : tegmina and vs^ings deflexed, truncated, hyaline-black, imma- 

 culate : feet fuscous {Fahr.). 



Dark brown with a small spot near the middle of the anterior 

 margin ; the lower wings are covered with a bluish powder at the base : 

 apparently belongs to Euryptera, Guerin (Gray in Griffith, I. c).

 thorax tricarinate : tegmina triangular, anterior margin somewhat 

 straight, wings concolorous ; feet abbreviated, brunneous-ferruginous 

 {Guerin), Long 9 : exp. teg. 30 millims. Stal identified this from the 

 type with his own P. obsoura which in Hem. Fabr. (Z. c.) he makes one 

 with B. fuscata, Fabr. 



(^ . Blackish ; abdomen and feet pale fuscous-testaceous : tegmina 

 and wings obscurely fuscous, the former marked behind the middle of 

 the costal margin with a small, more or less distinct, flavescent greyish 

 spot ; costal and apical margins not sinuated towards the apical costal 

 angle : wings behind the middle with the veinlets irregularly arranged and 

 furnished towards the apex with a row of veinlets ; frons very trans- 

 verse, very roundly narrowed towards the apex, furnished with a median 

 longitudinal ridge (Stdl). Body long, 7 — 8 ; exp. teg., 29 — 32 millims.
