 avec la portion anterieure le'gercment lavee de jaunatre ou 

 de vert. Pattes de la meme nuance que les autres parties

 rieures offrant vers leur extrdmitd une petite expansion tri- 

 angulaire, ldgerement dentelce, les jambes n'ayant qu'une 

 expansion plus petite dans leur milieu ; les cuisses intermd- 

 diaires et postdrieures offrant une expansion analogue a celle 

 des antdrieures, mais remontant davantage vers la base, 

 leurs jambes greles et totalement ddpourvues d'expansion. 

 Abdomen assez etroit, ayant ses quatrieme, cinquiome et 

 sixieme segments dilates sur les cotes en forme de lobes."

The minute granulation of the head, legs, under side of 

 the thorax, and margins of the segments of the body, is a 

 peculiar character of this species. I have no hesitation in 

 giving the insect described above as the female of Ph. lobi- 

 ventre of Blanchard.

The original type of the male of this species, represented 

 in Griffith's Animal Kingdom, is preserved in the Hopeian 

 Collection. Except in the more gradually narrowed form 

 of the fifth and sixth segments of the abdomen, this male 

 seems to me scarcely to differ materially from that of Ph. 

 Scythe.
