Allied to P. Sundevalli, Boli., but with a longer and more slender 

 roati-um, tlie antennas inserted in the hasal quarter of the rostrum, 

 the funicle longer, and the prothorax more coarsely punctured, &c. 

 The spots are rather feebly marked, small and round on the pro- 

 thorax, larger and more irregular on the elytra, in both formed by- 

 white transversely disposed setsB.

A Phcenomerus has lately been described by Dr. Gerstaeeker, from 

 Zanzibar (I have long had it in my collection from Natal). Pre- 

 viously a single species only was known (from Ceylon, and perhaps 

 India); but Mr. "Wallace's collection contained six others besides 

 the one described above. The species before us, whose discovery 

 we owe to Mr. Masters, in his recent expedition after that strange 

 ganoid fish, the Ceratodus Forsteri, is a narrower form than P. 

 Sundevalli, the prothorax less coarsely punctured, the interstices 

 between the elytral striae much less convex, the setae more scat- 

 tered, but forming a slightly marked band on the middle of the 

 elytra.
