Anthia gracilis, Dej., Spec. gen. des Col. v. 468. 17; Dupont in 

 Guerin's Mag. de Zool. 1832. 

 Two specimens of a local variety of this occur, from the banks 

 of the Congo.

A specimen of this cosmopolite species was brought from the 

 banks of the Congo by Mr. Curror. 



Amongst the Lamellicorn beetles Mr. Curror has sent speci- 

 mens of

Both males and females of this species occur^ varying in the 

 colouring of the elytra and in the size of the fork in the male. 

 As the female resembles the male excepting in the head and the 

 structure of the legs (especially the fore ones), &c., as in other 

 species of the genus, I need hardly describe it ; but as it is yet un- 

 figured, I will take care that a figure of the female and of a very 

 handsome male be published in some entomological periodical. 

 M. Lucien Buquet in 1835 was uncertain of the precise locality 

 of this very handsome insect : his figure of the male represents it 

 by far too slender. Mr. Charles Curtis's figure in the ^ Mag. of 

 Nat. History/ representing a species of this genus, is more cha- 

 racteristic, as are Mr.Westwood^s figures of the Goliath beetles of 

 this subgenus in the ' Arcana Entomologica.'

Mr. Curror has brought both sexes of this from the Congo. We 

 are indebted to the Rev. D. F. Morgan for specimens from Sierras 

 Leone, which, with his entire collection of insects, he most liberally 

 presented to the national collection.
