A narrower species than P. colossus, without any granulation 

 on the prothorax, and of a bright yellow cinnamon-brown colour. 

 P. molossus, 01., is a good and perfectly distinct species, the ori- 

 ginal of which was supposed by M. Guerin Meneville to have been 

 a female colossus, to which the head of a male had been attached. 

 I have it from Celebes and Malacca.
