quite sparsely punctiilate. Elytra very elongate, at tlic 

 iiiuldle twice as wide as the prothorax, densely granulato- 

 piuictate. Legs very long. 



cJ . Posterior fetuora feebly clavate ; anterior tarsal joints 

 1-3 with a narrow black comb along their inner edge ; 

 terminal dorsal segment entire. Genital armatnre (PI. XI. 

 figs, y, 9 «) : lateral lobes sinuate, curved inward and some- 

 what hooked at the tip, as seen from above (Hg. 9 a), broad 

 as seen in profile (fig. 9) ; median lobe gradually acuminate, 

 the apex broadly, abruptly dilated, subsagittiforra. 



Length (excL head) 11-14, breadth 31i— ir mm. (3* ? .) 



Hal). Arabia, Yemen (Millin'/en, in ^Iu3. Brit.). 



The above description is taken from four males and three 

 females. They agree with Walker's diagnosis of P. hirtns, 

 except as regards their larger size, the unnotched eyes *, 

 and the broad joints to the antenna. His type, from Tajura, 

 on the opposite African coast, appears to have been lost. 

 The median lobe of the male is veiT peculiarly formed. 



10. l(l(/ia laticornis, sp. n. 



Elongate, somewhat widened posteriorly, shining, the 

 elytra duller : finely pubescent and sparsely nigro-setose ; 

 fulvous, the head {ihe labrum and epistoma excepted) and 

 t!ie auteunal joints 5-11 black, the elytra nigro-cyaneous 

 or black. Head long, narrow, strongly produced anteriorlv, 

 the labrum about as long as broad, hollowed down ti:e 

 middle ; eyes very large, moderately convex, narrowlv 

 separated in c? , more distant in ? ; antennfe ( (^ ) elongate, 

 joints 4-11 broad, stout, feebly serrate, tapering towards 

 the apex, -4 not longer than 3, 5-10 subequal in length, 

 longer than broad, 11 deeply excavate within, longer than 10, 

 ( ? ) much shorter and more slender. Prothorax wider 

 than the head, obloug-subquadrate, narrowed anteriorlv, 

 uneven, sparsely punctulate. Elytra very long, at the 

 middle twice as wide as the prothorax, densely granulato- 

 punctate. 



(J. Anterior tarsal joints 1-3 with a black comb along 

 their inner edge ; anterior tibiae slij:htly curved towards the 

 apex ; posterior trochanters toothed behind. Genital 

 armature (PI. XI. figs. 10, 10 a) : lateral lobes rather 

 short, narrowed and slightly sinuate distally, as seen from 

 above ; median lobe stout, abruptly bent downward and
