AlUed to /. cuspidata, Fab. (pica, M. Ly.), and /. nasuta, 

 Schm ; but at once distinguislied from the former by the form 

 of the frontal horn, and by not having the clypeus constricted at 

 the base, and fi-om the latter by its longer and differently armed 

 clypeus, shorter antennaj and difiEerent colour. The only speci- 

 men I have seen is a male in my own collection, which was 

 recently brought home by ]Mr. Mansel Weale.
