Famity—PAUSSIDZ. 89 
maxille (fig. 4) are armed with a very thin semitransparent oval lobe, which is bidentate, and the 4-jointed 
maxillary palpi (4 4, seen from above; 4c, seen partially sideways) have the second joint flat and broadly ovate, 
truncated at the tip, the two terminal joints small. The prothorax has the anterior division slightly broader 
than the head, with the lateral angles acute, and a slender channel down its centre; the posterior division has 
the lateral portions elevated, with a small patch of fulvous hairs in front; the centre is deeply impressed, the 
hind central portion forming two lobes rounded in front. The extremity of the body is margined with rufous 
bristles, of which there is a thicker patch on each side.

No satisfactory representation of this European species having been hitherto published, I have here repre- 
sented it from specimens in the Hopeian Collection: one from Tarsus, kindly sent to me by Herr Dohrn, and 
one from Turkey in Asia, collected by M. Wachanru, obtained by me from M. Deyrolle. The species is closely 
allied to the Indian P. ¢édialis, Westw. Trans. Linn. Soc. xix. p. 47, and Arcan. Ent. ii. p. 174, pl. XC, fig. 1, 
which has also dilated posterior tibie.
