Among the Pachyteriae of the Brussels Museum, kindly 

 sent to me for examination by Mr. A. Preudhomme de 

 Borre , was a specimen from Java (coll. Du Bus) under 

 the name Pacliyteria hicolor Parry. As it, however, did 

 not quite agree with Parry's very short description and 

 the accompanying figure ^) , which inter alia do not agree 

 in every respect with each other, I forwarded a detailed 

 description of it to Mr. Alex. Fry , in London , the present 

 owner of Parry's type specimen , asking him to compare 

 my description carefully with the type. This he did most 

 courteously , and he came to the conclusion that the Brus- 

 sels specimen, although it must be wonderfully like the 

 hicolor^ differs in some respects essentially and cannot 

 be the same species , nor do the diff'erences appear to be 

 sexual. 



I therefore regard the specimen of the Brussels Museum 

 as belonging to a distinct species , and after having des- 

 cribed it under the name Pachyteria Borrei, I will repro- 

 duce Mr. Fry's detailed description of the type specimen 

 of Pachyteria hicolor Parry. 



I will now proceed to describe the new species.
