One specimen, considerably smaller than P . calidum, Fabr.,
and agreeing fairly with Palisot de Beauvois’s figure quoted
above, which I have no doubt was taken from an African
specimen, though it has latterly been referred to the American
P. subulatum. This small form 'may or may not prove to be
distinct from P . calidum, for a series would be required to
compare the characters ; and I therefore provisionally retain
Palisot’s name for it.

Gen, ?
An immature specimen, apparently belonging to a new
