Cantharocnemis Dorvnesii, 

 Prionus Downesii (Moore's MS.)

 punctatis ; elytris lineis duabiis elevatis, apicem versus 

 evanescentibus. Bombay. 



Pitchy brown, head punctured, two confluent elevations on the 

 vertex behind, with two shallow depressions in front and between 

 the eyes ; antennae glabrous, reddish brown ; prothorax smooth 

 in the middle, thickly punctured at the sides ; elytra very thickly

I am indebted to M. Chevrolat for having pointed out the 

 extremely rare genus to which this fine insect belongs. It is 



dedicated to Downes, Esq., of Bombay, to whom the museum 



at the India House is indebted for many fine insects.
