Description ⁴

Tawny or livid. Head almost as long as the body, slightly ridged and tuberculate. Abdomen black above; hind borders of the segments testaceous; under side testaceous, with a broad black stripe. Fore wings with several minute tawny tubercles, paler to- wards the base, where there are no tubercles; veins black; trans- verse veinlets oblique, ramose, and extremely numerous. Hind wings vitreous, with a milky tinge towards the base; veins green, darker towards the tips. Length of the body 12-14 lines; of the wings 18-22 lines.

This species was included, by mistake, with P. punctata, in page 269 of the List of Homoptera. It may be distinguished from this species by the veining and tubercles of the fore wings.
