Mons. I'Abbe David, in the province of Mou-Pin, Eastern 
Thibet. This determination must, however, be erroneous 
(vide the author's paper on Prismognathus Dauricus, 
Etudes Entom. x. p, 10).

This species is closely related to P. occipitalis, Westw., 
but may readily be distinguished from it by its larger size 
and denser colour ; its head is more deeply excavated in 
front, the carinre are considerably longer, extending from 
the centre to the anteocular angle, and the sides behind 
the eyes being merely swollen instead of dentate ; the pro- 
thorax has a large central triangular black mark extend- 
ing from the anterior to the posterior margin, and the 
elytra are very finely chagreened, whereas in the allied 
species they are distinctly punctate. We are indebted to 
Dr. Mohnike, a zealous entomologist long resident in the 
island of Java, for the discovery of the present species, 
stated to be fi-om that island, where it has only recently 
been discovered, but in very great abundance. Unfortu- 
nately all the specimens captured of various stages of 
development were males. I possess from the island of 
Formosa a single female individual, which, were it not for 
the divergence of locality, I should feel disposed to refer 
to the present species.
