This verj' interesting Fabrician species, has never before been figured ; indeed, until the publi- 

 '■al ion of my Catalogue the name P. Tmo?i was applied to a perfectly distinct insect: I am indebted 

 for the identification of P. Timon to my cousin, ^liss J. K. Lorimer, eldest daughter of the late Dr. 

 i.orimer, of (ilasgow, and to John Gibson, Esq., also of Glasgow, who sent me a sketch and description 

 of the type in the Ilunterian Collection.
