the 9 moderately thickened, unarmed. The whole surface of the 
body covered with coarse, suberect, fulvous hairs, mingled here 
and there with black. 
Pecilomorpha Thoreyt. 
P. elongata, postice attenuata, pallide rufo-fusca, pilis depressis dense 
vestita ; antennis, thorace (hoc limbo preetermisso) femoribusque 
anticis dorso piceis: elytris sordide flavis, postice et ad latera 
fuscis, marginibus lateralibus piceis ; linea suturali vix ante me- 
dium fere ad apicem extensa, medio dilatata, flavo-albo pilosa. 
Long. 5} lin. 
Hab. Old Calabar. 
Head broad, closely punctured; eyes large, prominent; epi- 
stome rather broader than long, separated from the face by a 
deep transverse groove, its surface smooth and shining, impressed 
on either side below the upper angles with coarse punctures ; ike 
is also clothed on cither side on the same spot with a patch of 
adpressed hairs; face plane, closely covered with"distinet punc- 
tures ; on its lower edge, at the middle, is a short raised smooth 
line. Antenna not equal in length to the head and thorax, piceous, 
their basal joints obscure rufo-fulvous. Thorax subglobose, its 
apex truncate, constricted at the base, sides rounded, scarcely 
narrowed in front, surface closely punctured, covered with ad- 
pressed hairs, a narrow line down the middle of the disk nitidous, 
impunctate ; piceous, the entire limb rufo-fuscous ; at the mid- 
dle of the base is a short longitudinal line formed of adpressed 
whitish hairs. Scutellum broad! y truncate, clothed with coarse 
adpressed whitish pubescence. LElytra as broad at the base as 
the thorax, thence quickly narrowed towards the apex, the latter 
dehiscent ; above coarsely punctured, humeral callus prominent ; 
surface longitudinally excavated along the suture, the excavated 
portion commencing immediately below the basilar space; the 
latter plane, not perceptibly raised above the surface of the ely- 
tron; the yellow colour on the basal half of the surface soon 
becomes obscured, and imperceptibly loses itself in the general 
fuscous colour of the sides and hinder disk. Body beneath 
clothed with coarse, adpressed, dirty white hairs; sides of the 
metasternum nearly glabrous, sparingly covered with very fine, 
adpressed, fulvous hairs; apical border of metasternum, together 
with the mesosternum, each clothed with a transverse band of 
coarse yellowish pubescence. Hinder thighs moderately thick- 
ened. Apical segment of the abdomen impressed with adeep fovea. 
Very close, both in form and colour, to P. tomentosa; the two 
species, however, present distinct points of difference. P. Tho- 
reyi is larger, its head broader, the eyes larger and more promi- 
nent; the thorax is more constricted behind, and the scutellum 
broadly truncate at the apex; the elytra are broader at the base,
