 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
