The chief differences observable between this species (the 
material characters of which, in consequence of not having 
met with a specimen, I have abridged from Gyllenhal’s detailed 
specific description,) and Donovan’s P. denticornis are, the uni- 
formity of colour in the former, the apparently rounded front of 
its head, the sudden coarctation of the base of its thorax, and 
its “ striga media transversa, abbreviata.” 
In consequence of the priority of Donovan’s specific name 
denticornis, applied to the preceding species, I have considered 
it expedient to give this a name referring to the uniformity of 
its colour. 
Amongst the insects brought from Nepaul by Major-General 
Hardwicke, is a mutilated specimen of an insect intimately 
allied to the two preceding species, but apparently distinct 
from either of them. As the elytra, legs, and abdomen of the 
specimen are wanting, I am unable satisfactorily to ascertain 
its specific identity. The head and thorax, however, are smaller 
and darker-coloured than in P. denticornis Don. ; the thorax is 
proportionably rather longer ; the eyes are black ; the head is 
rounded and subdepressed in front and not emarginate ; the
