Fusco-castaneus : prothoracis lateribus antice angulatis, parte postica elongatiuscula tenuiori picea ; elytris 
thoraceque setosis, illis elongatis plaga magna communi picea notatis; capite carina elevatiuscula a clypeo 
emarginato egredienti usque ad nucham attingente ; tuberculo ad verticem posito; clava antennarum naviformi, 
marginibus denticulatis, denticulis inferioribus setigeris; carina antice versus apicem subangulata, versus basin 
profunde emarginata, quasi scissa ; tibiis mediocribus. 
Long. corp. lin. 24 (3% poll.) 
Habitat; India Orientalis. D. D. Bacon and Hutton. 
Closely allied to P. denticulatus Westw., Are. Ent. ii. pl. XCHI, fig. 1. 
Taken by Captain T. Hutton in July, 1845, at Green Mount, Mussoorie, on the under side of a leaf of 
night-shade. Another, apparently of the opposite sex, was captured by Dr. Bacon, on the 5th of July, 1844, 
with a sweeping net, in grass at Rockville, Landour, three miles from Green Mount.

PuatE XVI, Fie. 10. 
Fulvo-rufus, pronoti lateribus posticis discoque elytrorum nigris: capite tuberculo conico parum elevato, 
inter oculos; antennarum clava naviculari, margine antico fere recto, apice rotundato, margine postico excavato, 
excavatione acuminato-ovali, margine supero simplici, infero 5-denticulato et 5-setoso; prothorace bipartito, 
parte postica antica haud latiori; elytris nitidis levibus, breviter setosis, lateribus longius setosis ; podice rufo, 
setarum serie marginato; pedibus subgracilibus, basi femorum obscuriori. 
Long. corp. lin. 34. 
Habitat ; India Orientalis (D. Bacon). In Mus. Hopeiano Oxoniz (olim Westw.). 
Nearly allied to P. ploiophorus and denticulatus, but differs in the narrowed hind part of the prothorax ; also 
to P. nauceras, from which it differs in the glossy elytra and different shape of the antenne. 
Species 15 (37)—PAUSSUS (A b *) PLOIOPHORUS. 
(Benson, M‘Clelland’s Caleutta Journ. Nat. Hist.; Westw. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. vol. v. p. 25.) 
Puate XVI, Fic. 11. 
Fusco-castaneus : abdomine elytrorumque disco nigris politis, horum marginibus late castaneis, antennarum 
elava naviformi, fissura basali profunda angusta incisa, cavaminis marginibus denticulatis, marginis inferioris 
denticulis setigeris; abdomine setarum brevium fasciculis duobus munito. 
Long. corp. lin. 3, (3%5 poll.) 
Habitat ; India Orientalis, mense Februario (Dr. J. F. Bacon), Moradabad, in Rohilkund, to the north of 
the river Ganges. In Mus. Benson olim. 
This species is of the same size and habits as P. denticulatus Westw., and is intermediate between it and 
P. nauceras.
