 According to description and size this should be Walker's 

 species. The type is unavailable, being in the British 

 Museum, and I have not seen any authentic determination of 

 this species.

 Froggatt's type of P. prolongata is a female specimen of this 

 species. It is in the Museum.

 After examining dozens of this species in various collections 

 and from various localities I am convinced that P. nigristriga y 

 God. and Frogg., is a synonym. The species varies in depth 

 of colour, and, on the Queensland side especially, carries the 

 bars of black across the dorsal ridge of the abdomen, which 

 gave the name to Goding and Froggatt's species.
