Vorr similar to P. siifuaus, but t'athor smaller aiul iiarrvnvor, with 

 tho soulpture of tho upper surface inon^ distinct aud vognlar. Tho 

 thorax is sparingly, but distinctly, and rather deeply piinctmvd. The 

 elytra aiv rather invgularly punotunnl. but tho pnnctuivs arc almv^st 

 arranged iu ivws. and the luimeral folds are olvM^gato aud take the 

 form of olevatiHl iurei'stices on the basal poi'tiou of the elytra. 



A single individual was sent me soute time ago from Tainia by 

 Captain Bivun. It isi no doubt a male ; the fourth abdominal segment 

 is eompletclv abbrt^viatod in the middle, aud the apical dorsal segment 

 much intloxed. so that the form of the hind body is nearly, if not 

 quite, that of the Section Onupti^omrs of Cha puis, rather than that of 

 the " Cuch'qtits" to which the J£iiiHoIju\ies belong in his classitication.
