This insect was one of the novelties brought to this country by 

 Major Sale, in the valuable collection to which F have alluded in 

 a former number of this Journal, as having been formed by that 

 gentleman in the immediate vicinity of Madras. It is nearly 

 allied to P. angulatus of Olivier; but may be at once distin- 

 guished from that insect, by being considerably tomentose, and 

 also somewhat larger.
