 and a large one on each side of the cross- vein on the stem \ the

fifth with two small spots on the upper branch, one on the lower, 

 a small one just past the cross- vein, and one near the base ; the 

 sixth has three small dark areas. 



The first sub-marginal cell is longer and narrower than the 

 second posterior cell, and its base is nearer the base of the wing ; 

 the stem of the first sub-marginal cell is about two-thirds the 

 length of the cell ; stem of the second posterior cell longer than 

 the cell; posterior cross-vein not quite its own length distant 

 from the mid cross-vein; mid a little nearer the base than the 

 supernumerary. 



Legs brown ; no traces of banding in the fore and mid pair, 

 but there are minute apical yellow bands to the posterior tarsal 

 segments, and pale knee spots. 



Length. — 5 mm. 



Habitat — Algeria (Dr. E. Sergent). 



Observations. — Described from three 9 , s. It comes very 

 near P. chaudoyei, Theob., but can at once be told by the wing 

 ornamentation as well as the thoracic adornment — chaudoyei has 

 two, this species three dark lines on the mesonotum.

A female sent by Dr. Christophers in 1903, shows the follow-

 large dark area near its origin just past the cross-vein, and a
