I have not thought it necessary to detail the specific descrip- 
tion of this species, preferring rather to refer the entomologist 
to the original description of Afzelius of the six specimens 
stated by that author to have been brought by him from Sierra 
Leone: I have been able to inspect only that formerly con- 
tained in the cabinet of Sir J. E. Smith, and now belonging to 
the Linnean Society. To this insect is attached a label with 
the observations, ** Novum genus S. Leone, Afzelius. Antennis
