extremity, with a conspicuous tooth in the middle of its second 
half and a lightly bifid apex. 
Length of body up to 23 mm.; width 3.5. 
A number of specimens from a valley near Busalla, collected 
‘by Mr. Oldfield. Thomas. 
This species evidently belongs to the group of which P. collars 
and P, edentulus are good representatives. But it may be at 
once recognised from both by the characteristic pink colour of 
the tergites and by the form of its copulatory feet. 
I have taken the liberty of naming this most beautiful Myrzopod 
«in honour of the Marchesa Laura Doria, nata Durazzo, to whose 
hospitality Mr. Thomas: was so much indebted while collecting 
in Liguria.
