Dark reddish, elongate-elliplical, minutely punctured, thickly speckled 
with pale yellowish, whitish beneath. Head with seven pale yellow lines; 
hind part black, with one yellow line. Eyes blackish. Rostrum pale. 
Antennae piceous-red. Thorax with a yellow line; sides very narrowly 
yellow ; hind angles slightly prominent. Scutellum less thickly speckled 
than the thorax, with a yellovv line at the base, with a yellow spot on each 
basal angle, and with one at the tip. Pectus and underside of the abdomen 
with four red stripes, the inner pair composed of transversely elongated 
spots. Legs whitish, thickly red-speckled ; femora towards the base and a 
band on the tibioe unspeckled ; tarsi piceous. Fore wings with an 
elongated pale yellow spot in the disk ; membrane brown, with seven white 
stripes. Length of the body 5^ lines. 
The smaller size, the more obtuse angles of the thorax aud the spot on 
each of the fore wings will distinguish it from P. australasice, P. apicalis, 
P. patruelis, P. calidus, P. conspersus and P. cognatus. The spot on each 
fore wing distinguishes it from P. gravis, P. lineatus, P. slrigalus, 
P. eximius, P. hislricus and P. fasciatus.

punctured, testaceous beneath. Head elongate; the punctures arranged 
in six lines, of which the outer pair are undulating ; middle lobe extending 
a little beyond the lateral lobes. First joint of the antennae extending much 
beyond the front of the head; second a little shorter than the third;

prominent, acute ; anterior sides testaceous, slightly retlexed, bordered with 
black. Scutellum testaceous and smooth at the tip. Spiracles black. 
Tarsi piceous. Fore wings with a testaceous costa ; membrane cinereous.

The pale membrane distinguishes it from P. fasciatus, P. histricus, 
P. apicalis and P. gravis, to which last species it has most affinity. It 
differs from P. modestus in the pale colour of the antennte, of the legs and 
of the under side of the abdomen.
