Several specimens of this species were brought home by Major- 
General Hardwicke from Nepaul, and Capt. Boys captured two at 
Almorah at the end of the month of July, 1842, which came to the 
liglits late at night, and which crepitated as strongly as the 
Brachini, discolouring test-paper, and emitting a strong scent of 
nitric acid.

Q d, the antennae in different positions; Qe, the anterior tarsus; and 
6/, the wing ; the * indicating the small cell alluded to in p. 168. 
Species XXXIV.— Paussus Sp. ined. Latr, 
Of this species, the habitat of which is stated by Latreille to be 
the Isle de France, I am entirely ignorant. 
The plant represented in pi. 88 is the Indian Globba marantina; 
and that in pi. 89 is the Morsea papilionacea of Linnmus, from 
Southern Africa. 
Note. I find, on examining the insect described by Captain Boys 
(noticed in p. 161, under the name of Platyrhopalus suturalis), and 
which that gentleman has been so good as to forward from India 
for my inspection, that it proves to be identical with Platyrhopalus 
angustus, p. 78. The specimen has the dark mark on each elytron 
almost obsolete; and the description should be, “Body brown, 
rather deeper in colour near the lateral margins of the elytra.”
