" Prazil " from Gardener and Stevens. P.M. 



It is a pity that we have no precise habitats for the 

 species of Barhicornis ; the present species is evidently 

 distinct irom B. BnsUis, from which it differs in its more 

 slender and scarcely barbed antenuic, (in addition to the 

 character of the coloration) ; its habitat is therefore sure 

 to be different.
