Dr. Stal lias mistaken the succecdiug species (as did Walker), 

 for the insect described by Fairmaire, but it is clear from the 

 original description that the main body of the ])ronotum was not 

 regarded as a node by the French author ; If. qnadrinodosiis 

 is described as shining brown-black, with the first two nodes 

 nearly equal and the strong ventral spine emitted from the third 

 smaller node, whereas the quadrinodosus of Walker is black, 

 with only three true nodes and the spines emitted from the third 

 or largest and terminal node.
