  the 
  relatively 
  short 
  terminal 
  segment 
  ; 
  by 
  the 
  verticel 
  of 
  long 
  hair-like 
  scales 
  on 
  

   the 
  2nd 
  segment 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  ; 
  and 
  also 
  by 
  the 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  tarsi 
  being 
  arranged 
  

   in 
  broad, 
  distinct 
  bands. 
  

  

  Abdominal 
  hairs 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  erect 
  dorsally, 
  and 
  arranged 
  in 
  indefinite 
  tufts 
  ; 
  those 
  

   on 
  the 
  venter 
  recumbent 
  and 
  silvery 
  grey, 
  standing 
  out 
  in 
  marked 
  contrast 
  to 
  those 
  

   on 
  the 
  dorsum, 
  which 
  are 
  faintly 
  infuscated. 
  Legs 
  : 
  tarsi 
  clothed 
  with 
  dull 
  silvery 
  

   scales 
  arranged 
  in 
  complete 
  and 
  well 
  defined 
  bands 
  or 
  zones 
  ; 
  when 
  mounted 
  

   in 
  balsam 
  and 
  examined 
  in 
  optical 
  section 
  the 
  arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  scales 
  

   (fig. 
  11, 
  a)* 
  is 
  seen 
  to 
  be 
  strikingly 
  characteristic, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  curious 
  to 
  

   note 
  that 
  the 
  integument 
  in 
  the 
  inter-zonal 
  spaces 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  cicatrices, 
  

   though 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  either 
  scales 
  or 
  hairs 
  arising 
  from 
  any 
  of 
  them. 
  Antennae 
  

   with 
  geniculated 
  spines 
  on 
  all 
  the 
  segments 
  of 
  the 
  flagellum, 
  with 
  the 
  exception 
  of 
  

   the 
  terminal 
  one, 
  i.e., 
  3rd- 
  15th 
  inclusive 
  ; 
  these 
  for 
  the 
  most 
  part 
  at 
  least 
  are 
  of 
  great 
  

   length 
  (fig. 
  11,6), 
  the 
  tips 
  reaching 
  nearly 
  to 
  the 
  bases 
  of 
  the 
  spines 
  on 
  the 
  succeeding 
  

   segment 
  ; 
  2nd 
  segment 
  (scape) 
  with 
  a 
  single 
  verticel 
  of 
  long 
  stout 
  hair-like 
  scales 
  

   (fig. 
  11, 
  Ci) 
  ; 
  3rd 
  segment 
  (fig. 
  11, 
  c) 
  long, 
  the 
  tip 
  reaching 
  almost 
  to 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  

   proboscis 
  ; 
  hairs 
  relatively 
  long 
  and 
  stout, 
  and 
  the 
  smaller 
  segments 
  of 
  the 
  flagella 
  

   rather 
  densely 
  clothed 
  with 
  them 
  ; 
  sensoria 
  on 
  terminal 
  segments 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  rather 
  

   conspicuous 
  hairs. 
  Palpi 
  (fig. 
  11, 
  d) 
  rather 
  short 
  and 
  slender 
  ; 
  3rd 
  and 
  5th 
  segments 
  

   the 
  longest 
  and 
  about 
  equal 
  in 
  length 
  ; 
  4th 
  unusually 
  short, 
  being 
  a 
  little 
  more 
  than 
  

   half 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  2nd 
  ;

  terminating 
  well

  of

  ; 
  anterior 
  branch 
  

   of 
  the 
  2nd 
  longitudinal 
  vein 
  one 
  and 
  a 
  half 
  times 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  distance 
  between 
  

   the 
  two 
  forks 
  ; 
  no 
  further 
  particulars 
  can 
  be 
  given,

  the 
  margins 
  of 
  both 
  wings 
  are 
  

   crumpled.

  A 
  fairly 
  large 
  and 
  somewhat 
  robust 
  species, 
  very 
  closely 
  resembling 
  a 
  large 
  example 
  

   of 
  P. 
  minutus 
  var. 
  africanus, 
  Newst., 
  but 
  separable 
  from 
  the 
  latter 
  and 
  also 
  from 
  

   all 
  the 
  other 
  known 
  African 
  species 
  by 
  the 
  short 
  terminal 
  segment 
  of 
  the 
  palpi 
  

   (fig.

  Colour 
  as 
  in 
  P. 
  minutus 
  var. 
  africanus. 
  Abdominal 
  hairs, 
  with 
  the 
  exception 
  of 
  

   those 
  on 
  the 
  proximal 
  segment, 
  recumbent 
  both 
  dorsally 
  and 
  ventrally. 
  Antennae 
  : 
  

   3rd 
  segment 
  relatively 
  very 
  short 
  and 
  about 
  one 
  and 
  two-thirds 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  

   4th, 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  reaching 
  to 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  proboscis 
  ; 
  the 
  paired 
  geniculated 
  

   spines 
  present 
  on 
  the 
  3rd 
  to 
  the 
  15th 
  segments 
  inclusive, 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  14th 
  and 
  15th 
  

   extending 
  to 
  or 
  just 
  beyond 
  the 
  articulation 
  of 
  the 
  succeeding 
  segments 
  ; 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  

   lower 
  segments, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  they 
  are 
  traceable, 
  do 
  not 
  reach 
  the 
  articulations 
  by 
  a 
  

   relatively 
  considerable 
  distance, 
  so 
  that 
  their 
  form 
  and 
  arrangement 
  are 
  very 
  similar 
  

   to 
  those 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  elsewhere 
  in 
  Africa 
  ;
