Mr. J. O. Westwood on the Paussidce, 
nitida punctissima subpubescentia. Abdomen segmento 
anali rotundato, marginato. Pedes longiores, tenuiores, 
subcompressi. Subtus testaceo-rufus. 
Three individuals of this species were brought from Nepaul 
by Major-General Hardwicke, with whose name I have in- 
scribed it All the specimens agree with each other in the 
formation of the antennae and other essential organs ; and I 
have therefore considered it as distinct from P. affinis, (to which 
in its general characters it is nearly allied, and of which or of 
P. lineatus it has been suggested that it may be one of the 
sexes,) for the reasons which induced me to regard the P. tho- 
racicus and Fichtelii as distinct. From the P. lineatus it is 
distinguishable not only in the formation of its antennae and 
thorax, but also from its geographical situation. 
The Rev. F. W. Hope, in his “ Synopsis of the new Species 
of Nepaul Insects in the Collection of Major-General Hard- 
wicke,” inserted in “Gray’s Zoological Miscellany,” has adopted 
my specific name for this insect (p. 27).
