This insect is one of the most beautiful of the genus, and 
appears to be abundant, as there were many specimens in the 
collection above mentioned.

From the Kasya Hills. 
There is probably no family amongst the Longicornes in which 
so many new species have been lately added to our cabinets as in 
true Lamia (Batocera of Dejean). The last edition of the Baron 
Dejean’s Catalogue mentions only six species, while the Cabinet 
of the Rev. F. W. Hope contains twenty-one species, and my own 
about fourteen. On first appearances it might be imagined that 
the species of Lamia might easily be separated, but I think it will 
prove quite the reverse, more especially when art steps in and 
tends to deceive the unpractised naturalist. The next insect I 
am about to describe is also a Lamia, and may be coloured by art 
in the usual way the Japanese paint their insects ; however, I will 
give the description as the insect appears, and, coloured or not, it 
is evidently a new species. 
Sp. 10. Lamia Porus, Parry. 
Affinis Lamie Roylu, Hope. 
Atro-cinerea, antennis corpore longioribus scabrosis, thorace 
unimaculato, scutello concolori, elytrisque ad suturam et ad 
latera parum mucronatis, ad basin seabris, maculisque puni- 
ceo-albis notatis. 
Long. lin. 20, lat. lin. 8.
