492 CATALOGUE OF 



slightly dilated on the hind border, more dilated near the fore border. 

 Mesothorax and metathorax slightly tnberculate and rugulose. Abdomen 

 smooth, longer than the anterior part of the body; its hind part narrower 

 than its fore part, but broader than the prothorax. Legs long, slender: 

 fore femora 9 lines in length; middle femora 7^ lines; hind femora 16 

 lines, incrassated and tuberculated for nearly one-third of the length from 

 the base ; four anterior tibiae about 8 lines in length ; hind tibiae 18 lines, 

 slightly curved, armed with two rows of short spines. Length of the body 

 48? lines. 



This species belongs to the section of the genus which includes 

 P. brevirostris, P. Ophiopsis and P. oculata. It differs from the two first 

 species and still more from P. oculata by the greater comparative length of 

 the abdomen, which is mutilated in the specimen described. The head 

 compared to the prothorax is shorter than that of P. brevirostris and longer 

 than that of the two following species.

30. PROSCOPIA GRANULOSA. 



Foem. Fusca ; caput subtiliter punctatum, prothoracis dimidio eequi- 

 longum, postice conicum, deinde lineare, apicem versus conicum ; 

 prothorax subtilissime tuberculalus ; abdomen l&ve,prothorace latins, 

 apicem versus attenuatum. 



Female. Brown. Head minutely punctured, about half the length 

 of the prothorax, much broader at its base than the fore border of the pro- 

 thorax, conical from thence to full half the length, linear from thence to 

 the eyes, in front of which it is conical and shorter than the eye. Eyes 

 elliptical, prominent. Antenna3 much longer than the cone of the head. 

 Prothorax very minutely tuberculated, cylindrical, slightly dilated on the 

 hind border, more dilated near the fore border. Mesothorax and meta- 

 thorax very minutely tuberculated. Abdomen smooth, much longer than 

 the anterior part of the body ; apical part narrower than the fore part, but 

 broader than the prolhorax; appendages as usual. Legs long, slender ; 

 four anterior femora 6 lines in length ; hind femora 13 lines, incrassated 

 and tuberculated for more than one-third of the length from the base; four 

 anterior tibia? 6 lines in length; hind tibiae 14 lines, slightly curved, 

 with two rows of minute spines. Length of the body 36 lines. 



This species and P. tuberculata belong to the same section of the 

 genus, and are distinguished by the shortness of the head in front of the 

 eyes and by the abruptly incrassated basal part of the hind femora. The 

 greater shortness of the narrow part of the head behind the eyes and the 

 shorter and smoother prothorax separate P. granulosa from P. tuber- 

 culata.

31. PBOSCOPIA SUBGRANULATA. 



Fcem. Obscure fusca ; caput vix punc tatum, prothoracis dimidio paullo 

 longius, postice lanceolatum, apicem versus longi-conicum ; prothorax 

 subtilissime tuberculatus ; abdomen lave, prothorace tatius, apicem 

 versus subattenuatum.
