312 Mr. G. R. Waterliouse's Descriptions 



they are golden green in the central portion of each spot, and of 

 a gohl or coppery Inie on the outer portion. On the rostrum are 

 three of these most brilhant spots, one above and one on each 

 side, and the head has three spots disposed in the same manner. 

 The prothoracic ring presents six spots, three above, of which 

 two are towards the sides and about midway between the base 

 and apex of the thorax, and one is behind in the centre. The 

 elytra have two round spots on the suture, and other spots — 

 sometimes seven on each elytron, and sometimes nine. The 

 rneso- and meta-sternum are each adorned with brilliant scales at 

 the sides, and so are the abdominal segments, with the exception 

 of the terminal one. The femora have a subapical ring (generally 

 interrupted above) of brilliant scales. The rostrum has a large 

 and nearly semicircular depression, occupying nearly the whole 

 area of the basal half, and this is more or less confluent, with a 

 largish but shallow fovea situated between the eyes.

This species somewhat resembles the P. getmnatiis, being 

 adorned with similar brilliant ocellated spots ; it is however of 

 smaller size, has a proportionately larger thorax and the spots are 

 differently disposed. It is at once distinguished from that species 

 by the absence of sutural spots on the elytra, and by having four 

 spots on the upper surface of the thorax instead of three, as in 

 P. gemmatus. 



Sp, 5. Pachyrhynchus Cumingii, Waterh. 



Splendide cupreus ; elytris leviter punctato-striatis ; rostro 

 nota transversa basali, capite maculis oblongis tribus, harum 

 una inter-oculari, una utrinque suboculari ; thorace lineis 

 marginalibus, et supra lineis tribus, et und transversa inter- 

 rupta, notato ; elytris lined marginali, lineisque duabus longi- 

 tudinalibus dorsalibus, nee non lined transversa per medium 

 excurrente, atque lineis duabus abbreviatis et ad angulos 

 basales, et ad subapicales ; his lineis maculisque pallide 

 cyaneo-viridibus.
