4, OXYRHACHIS suBJsECTA, Walker. 
Oxyrhachis subjecta, Walker, List Hom. B. M. ii. p. 504 (1851). 
Smaller than O. tarandus, the dorsal horns shorter in proportion and 
less diverging, posterior process more inclined upwards and not serrated 
beneath. Black with a white pubescence : head transverse, subquadrate, 
flat, slightly impressed, finely punctured, not much broader than long, a 
little narrower than the pronotum, truncated and ferruginous in front : 
pronotum somewhat elevated in front, rather roughly punctured, rising 
almost vertically from the head with a ferruginous keel or ridge: shoulders 
of pronotum rounded, not prominent : horns above very broad, prisma- 
tic, conical, diverging, ascending, hardly curved downwards : posterior 
side much the shortest of all the sides ; length of the horns rather less 
than the breadth of the pronotum between them: posterior process 
mostly ferruginous, reaching well beyond the tip of the abdomen, 
inclined upwards, and ridged beneath, but not serrated from the middle 
to the tip: pectus and abdomen whitish pubescent : legs red; tibias 
dilated : wings colourless : tegmina tawny, punctured at the base and 
with a brown spot on the angle of the posterior border ; veins stout, 
ferruginous, four discoidal areolas (Walker). Body long 6; wings, 113 
millims. 
Reported from India. 
In O. tarandus, the pronotum is elevated in front, the posterior pro- 
cess is ridged and also serrated beneath, the length of the horns is rather 
more than twice the breadth of the pronotum between them, and there 
are four discoidal areas: in O. subjecta, the posterior process is not ser- 
rated beneath and the length of the horns is rather less than the breadth 
of the pronotum between them, otherwise as in O. tarandus : in O. wni- 
color, the pronotum is rather low in front and the length of the horns is 
as in O. subjecta : in O. rudis, the posterior process is keeled and serrated 
but there are only three discoidal areas. 
Species of uncertain position.

(2 sér.), iv. p. 247, (1846). 
Thorax foliaceous, rounded, fuscous; streak before the anterior 
margin and posterior band, white (Fabr.). This species does not seem 
to have been rediscovered since it was described by Fabricius. Reported 
from India.
