The tibize are destitute of calcaria, and the outer margin of the 
elytra is furnished with a series of curved setze. The middle tooth 
of the mentum is obliterated. 
Fig. 4a represents the labrum; 44, the maxilla in situ; 4c, 
the same detached; 4d, the mandible; 4e, the labium and its

From a sketch of the specimen of this insect in M. Buquet’s 
Collection, I was induced to believe it to be merely a variety of 
the former species; but having since had an opportunity of com- 
paring my specimen of P. Klugii with specimens of this species in 
the British Museum and Mr. Norris's Cabinets, I find them quite 
distinct, not only in colour but in structure. 
The calcaria are obsolete ; the lateral margins of the elytra have 
a row of curved setze, and the segments of the abdomen are entire. 
Fig. 5 a represents the head and prothorax, seen sideways; 54, 
the maxillary palpus; 5c, the abdomen seen beneath.
