Psalterium Georgii (also Harpa Georgii) (Latin for George's harp) was a constellation created by Maximilian Hell in 1789 to honor George III of Great Britain. It was created from northern stars in Eridanus and was located next to the constellation Taurus, so as to include 10 Tauri. It is no longer in use.
