PENTACITROTUS, gen. nov. 



Allied to Coracia, of the same general form and size. Wings elongated, rounded at apex : 

 primaries with the costal vein terminating at the middle of the costal margin ; subcostal five- 

 branched, the first branch emitted at about the middle of the cell, the second a short distance 

 before the end, the three others (which are all distinctly separate at their origins) from the 

 superior angle of the cell ; radials emitted from the discocellulars at equal distances from each 

 angle of the cell ; first median branch emitted from external third of the cell, and the two 

 others from the inferior angle and almost from the same point : secondaries with the costal 

 vein extending to apex ; subcostal emitting its two branches from the superior angle of the 

 cell ; upper discocellular long and concave, lower discocellular short and oblique ; median 

 vein emitting its first branch just beyond the middle of the cell and the second and third from 

 one point at the end. Thorax broad and very slightly convex : head short and wide, about 

 half the width of the thorax at its widest part ; palpi small and slender, scarcely extending 

 beyond the front of the head ; antennae rather slender, ciliated on both sides with little tufts 

 of fine curved hair, which give them a pectinated appearance ; a tuft of coarse bristles pro- 

 jecting from each side of the head behind the eyes. Legs very thick, the two posterior pairs 

 with strong spines. Type P. vulneratus.

 an elongated transverse patch across the lower half of the wing, a subapical costal patch, a 

 patch on outer margin near external angle, and a curved band connecting the last two patches 

 blood-red, with a few central opaline scales ; these patches are partly encircled at a short distance
