For each surface Σ, we define Δ(Σ)= max {Δ(G)| G is a class two graph of maximum degree Δ(G) that can be embedded in Σ} . Hence, Vizing's Planar Graph Conjecture can be restated as Δ(Σ)=5, if Σ is a sphere. In this article, by applying some newly obtained adjacency lemmas, we show that Δ(Σ)=8 if Σ is a surface of characteristic χ(Σ)=−4 . Until now, all known Δ(Σ)s satisfy Δ(Σ)=J(χ(Σ))=⌊3+13−6χ(Σ)⌋ . This is the first case where Δ(Σ)=J(χ(Σ))−1 .
