the uatue (and it is the only one named) here adopted. 

 Schiinherr places it after Eurylohus ; but I have no hesitation in 

 referring to the Gonipterinje, associating another species with it, 

 which it resembles very closely externally, though differing tech- 

 nically in the mesosternum being produced, exactly as in Oxyops. 

 Tliis character is supposed to distinguish Oxyops from Goni- 

 pterus ; but, from an examination of several undescribed species 

 now before me, there is no limit between the two forms. There 

 is also a difference in the antennae of the two species : in P. vir- 

 gatus the second and third joints of the funicle are elongate 

 and equal in length ; in P. scenicus the funicle is shorter, the 

 second joint but moderately elongate, and the third considerably 

 shorter : those and other characters in the descriptions below 

 seem to me, in this instance, to be only of secondary value.
