the posterior angles of the prothorax, in which respect it agrees 
with Luc. punctiger, Hope (Cat. Lucan. p. 24; Linn. Trans. xviii. 
p- 592), but which differs from the present species in the elytra 
being destitute of costz, and in its much less strongly punctured 
prothorax. The type specimens of the last-mentioned species 
are females, and are regarded with considerable probability by 
Major Parry as the other sex of LZ. bulbosus, Hope, which, with 
other African and Indian species, constitutes Mr. Thomson’s 
second section of Prosopocoilus. 
The head is very rudely punctured on the upper side; the 
anterior lateral angles are obliquely rounded off; the clypeus forms 
a bilobed projection ; the mandibles are rather small, acute at the 
tips, with a tooth beyond the middle of the inner margin; on the 
middle of the crown are two irregular smooth patches, and there is 
a somewhat elevated space between each eye and the base of the 
antennz ; the eye is divided through its anterior half by the sharp 
curved eanthus. The mentum is short, almost semicircular, and 
rudely punctured. The maxille are short, the inner lobe termi- 
nating in a sharp, hooked spine (a character also found in the 
female of Pr. Martini, Hope, an African species of this sub-genus). 
The labium is terminated by two elongated, strongly-setose lobes, 
and the labial palpi are rather long, slender, and with the terminal 
joint thick and ovate. The prothorax is strongly punctured, the 
sides are rounded and slightly serrulated, the posterior lateral 
angles are obliquely emarginate. ‘The elytra are elongate, some- 
what parallel, each with three strong coste, the middle one 
interrupted near the shoulder; between the raised suture and 
the first costa are two slender lines edged with punctures, and 
the interstices between the costee are very closely and finely 
punctured. The extremity of the elytra is also very thickly 
punctured. The body beneath is but slightly punctured, except 
at the sides of the metasternum and apical segment of the abdo- 
men. The fore tibiz are armed with five teeth, of which the two 
at the apex are the largest, and the four posterior tibize have a 
spine in the middle of the outer edge of each.
