692 REVISION OP THE GENUS PAHOPSIS, 



regular rows. The markings resemble those of P. as])crula, Clip., 

 to which this species is certainly allied, though differing in many 

 characters (inter alia, the much finer prothoracic and elytral 

 punctures, with non-rugulose interstices, and the absence of dis- 

 tinction between the discal and marginal parts of the elytra).

P. NOTABILIS, Sp.nOV. 



^. Oralis; minus convexa, altitudine majori (a latei'e visa) 



contra elytrorum marginem medium posita; nitida; testaceo- 



brunnea, maculis in capite prothoraceque nonnullis elytris 



(verrucis exceptis) antennis apicem versus et corpore subtus 



(hoc maculatim) obscurioriljus; capite sparsius subtilius 



punctulato; prothorace quam longiori fere ut 2j^ ad 1 latiori, 



latitudine majori fere ad basin posita, antice minus fortiter 



angustato, pone apicem baud impresso, fortiter acervatim 



baud crebre (ad latera sat grosse nee crebre) punctulato, 



lateribus leviter arcuatis haud deplanatis, angulis posticis 



obtusis; scutello ktvi; elytris sub callum humeralem haud 



depressis, pone basin nuUo modo impressis, fortiter sparsius 



(ad latera parum magis fortiter) punctulatis, verrucis 



numerosis magnis parum elevatis instructis, interstitiis haud 



rugulosis, parte marginali angusta a disco (per sulculum sat 



distinctum) pone medium divisa, calli humeralis margine 



interno a sutura quam ab elytrorum margine laterali multo 



magis distanti; segmento ventrali basali vix manifeste 



punctulato. Long. 6, lat. 41 lines. 



A remarkable species, with considerable superficial resemblance 



to /'. solitaria, Blackb., but differing from it inter alia b}' its 



much larger size and elytra not depressed below the humeral 



callus. Its large, scarcely elevated, numerous el3'^tral verrucas 



of pallid colour furnish a notable character. Its prothorax is 



suggestive of species of the variolosa group, but is neither 



mucronate at the front angles nor laterali}' sinuate.
