of the autennae, the sides of the prothorax, the humeral caHosities and extreme 

 tip of the elytra, and the bases of the femora, davo- or rufo-testaceous. Head 

 coarsely, contluently })iuietate, the eyes very large, narrowly separated; antennae 

 about reaching the middle of the elytra, joints 3-10 broad, serrate, 3 longtu- 

 than -J, 7-10 gradually decreasing in width, 11 cylindrical, nearly equalling 

 9 and 10 united. Prothorax subquadrate, not so wide as the head, rounded at 

 the sides anteriorly, feebly constricted before the base ; irregularly, confluentlv, 

 foveolato-punctate on the disc, the punctures separate one from another on the 

 lateral portions, the transverse basal groove sharply defined. Elytra long, 

 feebly convex, very gradually widening to far beyond the middle, and thi ii 

 arcuately narrowed to the apex ; coarsely, closely confusedly punctate, the 

 narrow interspaces transversely contiueut.

One male. Narrower, less depressed, and more shining than P. ly- 

 coides, 6 , the antennae broadly serrate and with a rufo-testaceous apical 

 joint, the ej^es larger and more apj^roximate, etc. The less elongate, 

 broadly serrate antennae, and the subquadrate, more rugose prothorax, 

 separate P. JJavifrons from any of the varieties of P. mutahilis and 

 P. dicersa. The general coloration is common to various Lycids.

2. Elongate, rather narrow, gradually widening posteriorly, shining, 

 thickly ciothed, the legs included, with long, soft, pallid, erect hairs ; piceou>, 

 the head black, the anterior and post-ocular portions of the latter, the palpi, 

 the sides of the prothorax broadly, a marginal stripe on the elytra (including 

 the episterna), extending from a little below the humeri to near the apex, as 

 well as an incomplete narrow vitta near the suture and the extreme tip, and 

 the legs in great part (tlie outer third or more of the tibiae excepted), testa- 

 ceous. Head coarsely punctate, the eyes large, well separated ; autennae 

 rather stout, moderately long, serrate, joint 3 about one-half longer than 4 

 [8-11 broken off! Prothorax as wide as the head, subquadrate, feebly rouuded 

 at the sides ; irregularly, confluently, foveolato-punctate, with a few smaller 

 punctures intermixed, the disc with a smoother space in the centre in front. 

 I'jlytra feebly convex, long, gradually widening to near the apex, at the base 

 about twice as wide as. the prothorax, the apices somewhat produced, tlie 

 marginal carina thickened and laterally projecting ; coarsely, closely, confusedly 

 punctate.

One specimen, wanting the anterior legs, etc., but so different from • 

 its allies as to be worth naming. P . Jlavomarginata is, perhaps, nearest 

 related to P.Jtavifrons, differing from it in the explanate lateral margins 

 of the elytra, the elytra themselves being also bivittate. The roughly 

 sculptured prothorax, and the more convex elytra, etc., separate the
