Mr. Clias. 0. Wateiiionse on the 



and lastl}', some collected by the Eev. Eobert Toy at 

 Antananarivo. Of these correspondents Mr. Cowan 

 only remains in Madagascar ; Mr. Shaw and Mr. Kingdon 

 have retm-ned home. Mr. Toy, who lahonred as Senior 

 Tutor of the Theological and Secular College, after 

 having resided in the island since 1862, at length broke 

 down under his constant labom's and the effects of the 

 trying climate, and after a severe illness, from which he 

 only partially recovered, he died on his passage home, 

 south of Madeira, on the 19th of April of the present 

 year. 



Without enumerating all the species, I here give the 

 following typical forms arranged in the order which 

 appears to me to be the most natural : —

In describing the following new species in the British 

 Museum collection, I have placed them, to the best of my 

 judgment, under the subgenera proposed by M. Thom- 

 son, but some of them are very difficult to locate : — 



Alampetis ?' scintillans, n. sp. 



Allied to P. zivetta, Klug, but much less convex, and 

 in general outline somewhat resembling P. impressipennis. 

 Thorax rather more narrowed in front than in zivetta, 

 more distinctly keeled at the sides ; deep olive-green, 

 with only one raised median line, the disk rather 

 sparingly punctured with large punctures ; the impressed 

 portion within the lateral margin is closely punctured 

 nearly as in zivetta. The elytra somewhat resemble those 

 of impressipennis in general outline, but the shoulders 

 are a little expanded, and the lateral region from the 

 shoulder to rather behind the middle is impressed, and 

 the margin about the middle is slightly reflexed ; the 

 colour is more golden green and brighter than in zivetta.
