The tibise are destitute of calcaria, and the outer margin of the 
elytra is furnished with a series of curved setse. The middle tooth 
of the mentuin is obliterated.

the same detached; 4 the mandible ; 4 e, the labium and its

From a sketch of the specimen of this insect in M. Buquet’s 
Collection, I was induced to believe it to be merely a variety of 
the former species; but having since had an opportunity of com¬ 
paring my specimen of P. Klugii with specimens of this species in 
the British Museum and Mr. Norris’s Cabinets, I find them quite 
distinct, not only in colour but in structure. 
The calcaria are obsolete; the lateral margins of the elytra have 
a row of curved setse, and the segments of the abdomen are entire.

the maxillary palpus ; 5 c, the abdomen seen beneath.
