Brick-red with the dorsum, femora, tips of tegmina, tip of the wings 

 and several spots on them of a blackish-brown ; on the anterior margin of 

 the tegmina several black spots and a slight filiform, recurved cephalic 

 process. Head broader than long, vertex square, a little transverse,*with 

 a transverse ridge and a fovea on each side of the eyes : frons convex, 

 without a ridge on the anterior margin, a black filiform appendage, with 

 a longitudinal groove, reaching almost the end of the mesonotum : ros- 

 trum of a reddish-brown, reaching the end of the abdomen, the third 

 joint, the longest : pronotum almost five times broader than long, pos- 

 terior margin concave, anterior convex with a median emargination 

 which gives it a bilobed appearance, presenting on each side, beneath 

 the eyes, a strong emargination : lateral margins convex and black, a 

 slight ridge on the disc : mesonotum weakly tricarinate, and exhibiting 

 towards its extremity two small brown dots. Tegmina with a broad 

 apical band formed of a network of yellow veinlets on a brown ground ; 

 on the anterior margin are numbers of black dots, the clavial vein near 

 the fold of the tegmen with 3-5 black dots : wings transparent in the 

 miiddle, slightly bluish and exhibiting there about a dozen more or less 

 regular brownish spots ; tip brownish ; the border, also the folded part 

 near the abdomen, slightly infuscate : abdomen red beneath, black above, 

 with the end of the segments and the lateral margins, red ; each segment, 

 especially those of the extremity, covered with a thick farinose substance : 

 feet with the tibiae red and the femora black, the posterior with three strong 

 spines on the external side (Sig7i.) Body long, 16 ; exp. teg. 50 millims. 

 Reported from Cochin-China ; the Indian Museum has a specimen 

 (with the filiform cephalic process wanting) from Tenasserim. Stal 

 unites this with P. nigro-maculata^ Guerin, but though structurally the 

 same, the coloration of the tegmina leaves no doubt as to specific identity.
