respect with P. septentrionalis. The description of jonesi is so 

 brief that one can glean almost nothing from it to aid in com- 

 parison.

 as deep, Vertex produced into an acute-angulate cone shghtly 

 shorter than the width of head, in transverse section the cone is 

 arcuate dorsad and sub-obtuseangulate ventrad, apex narrowly 

 rounded; facial shield subquadrate, narrow or dorsal than ventrad ; 

 dorsal margin acute-angulate produced between antennal bases; 

 eyes elongate-elliptical in base outline, not at all prominent when 

 viewed from the dorsum. Pronotum subrectangulate, greatest

The type of this more interesting species is unique. We take 

 great pleasure in dedicating this new form to our learned fellow- 

 country man, Dr. F. Creighton Wellman, who collected the type 

 during his residence in Portuguese West Africa.
