tennes soyeuses. Prothoras manjuc d'un sillou eu avant. 

 Elytres verdatres, presque transpareiites. Ailes hyalines, 

 avec la portion anterieure legerement lavee de jauuatre ou 

 de vert. Pattes de la meme nuance que les autres parties 

 du corps : les cuisses et les jambes care'ne'es en dessus, ne 

 presentant aucune dilatation extcrieure ; les cuisses ante- 

 rieures oifrant vers leur estremite une petite expansion tri- 

 angulaire, legferement dentclee, les jambes vi'ayant qu'une 

 expansion plus petite dans leur milieu ; les cuisses iuterme- 

 diaires et posterieures offrant une expansion analogue a celle 

 des anterieures, mais remontant davautage vers la base, 

 leurs jambes greles et totalement depourvues d'espansion. 

 Abdomen assez etroit, ayant ses quatrieme, ciuquicme et 

 sixi&me segments dilate's sur les cotes en forme de lobes."

The minute granulation of the head, legs, under side of 

 the thorax, and margins of the segments of the body, is a 

 pecuHar character of this species. I have no hesitation in 

 giving the insect described above as the female of Ph. lohi- 

 ventre of Blanchard.

The original type of the male of this species, represented 

 in Griffith's Animal Kingdom, is preserved in the Hopeian 

 Collection. Except in the more gradually narrowed form 

 of the fifth and sixth segments of the abdomen, this male 

 seems to me scarcely to diifer materially from that oi Ph. 

 Scythe.
