Differs from Perihalus, Muls., in having the anterior lateral margins 

 of the pronotum neither callous nor smooth : sides of prostethium not, 

 unless very obtusely, elevated : the head is dilated, flat, or somewhat so, 

 towards the apex, lateral margins not, or but very slightly, sinuate ; 

 antenniferous tubercles not prominulous beyond the sides of the head.

Above green, thickly, darkly and coarsely punctured : head coarse- 

 ly and somewhat densely punctured ; the juga longer than the tylus and 

 cleft at the apex, with the lateral margins slightly reflexed : antennoB 

 with the first three joints green, fourth (except the base) and whole of 

 fifth, brown ; second joint longer than the third, 4 and 5 subequal : 

 pronotum coarsely punctured, somewhat sparingly so on the disc, with 

 the lateral angles produced into broad, obtusely pointed spines, some- 

 what rounded, and narrowly black at the apex ; scutellum thickly 

 punctured, more sparingly so at the apex ; corium thickly punctured, 

 especially near the costa, membrane brassy, shining : connexivum green, 

 thickly and darkly punctured, narrowly luteous on the outer margin and 

 at the segmental incisures : body beneath pale, disc of abdomen, coxae, 

 and bases of femora somewhat luteous ; legs green, tarsi brown : 

 stigmata marked with black dots : rostram luteous, with the apex nar- 

 rowly black (Dist.). Allied to P. angulosa, Motsch., from Japan, but dis- 

 tinguished by the much produced pronotal angles. 



Long 13 — 14 mill. ; breadth angles pronotum, 9 — 10 mill. 



Reported from Sind, N. India.

d" . Green, with head, anterior border of pronotum, basal half of 

 scutellum and membrane, bronzy : head obscurely rugulose, very thick-

 juga ; rostrum luteous, with the tip black : antennae luteous, apical 

 joint somewhat fuscous, third joint distinctly longer than the second, 

 rather , shorter than the fourth, fifth longest : pronotum obscurely 

 rugulose, very thickly and strongly punctured with black, with two 

 slightly waved, lateral, linear, impunctate foveae situated a little behind
