Type. Holotype of P. stellaris (not examined), no abdomen, Africa (no locality) ( BMNH). Holotype of P. argiolus (not examined), no abdomen, no locality ( NHRS). Lectotype of C. flavoguttata Ƥ, (not examined), designated by Medler, 1986a: 48, Sri Lanka ( ZMHB).

This species was not examined by the authors. The following description is from Distant (1906).

“Body and legs pale ochraceous or greenish-ochraceous, the pronotum and mesonotum sometimes not concolorous; tegmina very pale virescent, veins a little darker, interspersed with small dull sanguineous spots, extreme edges of costal and posterior margins pale ochraceous; wings creamy-white; tegmina with the clavus somewhat coarsely granulose, the costal membrane slightly cretaceously tomentose, the apical margin a little sinuate before posterior angle. Length excludes tegmina 8 mm; tegmina spread 23 mm ”.

The male genitalia of a plesiotype ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1. A D) is reproduced from Medler (2006).
