P. Eambueii, Selys. 

 PsoGus pedicularius, Eamb., Nevrop., p. 323 {excl. syn.). 



Dr. Rambur indicates this insect as found at Paris in bonses. 

 The type, now in my collection, is in bad condition, which renders it 

 Btill more necessary that a drawing of the neuratiou should be given. 

 Eambur was mistaken in considering this species identical with the 

 pedicularius of Linne, &c. (= hinotatus, Eambur). It is therefore 

 necessary to give it a new name, and I cannot do better than dedicate 

 it to that observant entomologist. It is probable that P. Bamhurii 

 ia exotic, imported into Paris with plants or merchandize. Eambur 

 having no doubt described the insect from living or fresh examples, 

 it is useful to reproduce his description in order to facilitate new 

 researches : — 



" De la grandeur du hinotatus, mais ayant les ailes beaucoup plus 

 " grandes. Corps d'un vei'datre obscur, surtout en dessus. Bouche 

 " tres-pale ; antennes beaucoup moins longues que I'insecte avee 

 " ses ailes, pales, legerement velues ; yeux saillaints, noirs. Pieds 

 " pales. Ailes grandes, tout a fait transparentes, ayant Ics nervurcs 

 " fines." (The description of the neuration is not here reproduced, 

 because the terminology does not accord with that now in use. It 

 suffices to say that Eambur was perfectly aware that the nervures are 

 disposed differently to those of other species, and that his description 

 of them agrees entirely with the type in his collection) .
