with reflexed borders io its tip, which is obtnsely angular; the part in 

 front of the eyes about six times as long as the breadth between them. 

 Prothorax wider near the fore border, hardly wider on the hind border. 

 Abdomen very minutely tuberculated, longer by three lines than the 

 anterior part of the body, broader lhan the prothorax, slightly tapering 

 from near the fore border to the tip. Four anterior femora and tibiae 

 7 lines in length; bind femora 16 lines; hiud tibiae 18 lines. Length of 

 the body 53 lines. 



The angular fore border of the head distinguishes it from P. sub- 

 obtusa, and the head is longer than that of P. incequalis.

23. PROSCOPIA SUBVITTATA. 



Foem. Testacea; caput et abdomen subtilissime tuberculata ; capulpostice 

 lanceolatum, apice versus subdilatalum lateribus subreflexis, apice 

 obtuse angulatum ; prothorax subtiliter tuberculalus, nigro sub-bivit- 

 tatus ; abdomen prothorace latius, vix attenuatum. 



Female. Testaceous. Head very minutely tuberculated, more than 

 three-fourths of the length of the prothorax, lanceolate from the hind 

 border to the fore border of the eyes, beyond which it slightly expands 

 with slightly reflexed borders to its tip, which is obtusely angnlar; the part 

 in front of the eyes is more than six times as long as the breadth between 

 them. Antennae as long as the part above. Thorax minutely tubercu- 

 lated, with two incomplete and irregular black stripes. Prothorax wider 

 near the fore border, hardly wider on the hind border. Abdomen very 

 minutely tuberculated towards the base, longer by six lines than the ante- 

 rior part of the body, broader lhan the prothorax, hardly tapering. Four 

 anterior femora and tibiae 7 lines in length ; hind femora and hind tibiae 

 15 lines. Length of the body 48 lines. 



The fore part of the head is shorter and less reflexed and the fore 

 border is more obtusely angular than that of P. expandem. It may be 

 P. radula, but the description of the latter is very short.

Male. Brown. Head almost smooth, almost as long as the pro- 

 thorax, lanceolate from the hind border to the fore border of the eyes, 

 beyond which it expands slightly and has slightly reflexed sides, the tip

 mentioned. Thorax minutely punctured. Prothorax wider near the fore
