I have been under the necessity of deriving the preceding 

 characters from Thunberg's original description and figure, not 

 having met with this species in any of the cabinets which I have 

 examined ; the insect thus named in the cabinet of the British 

 Museum (although it agrees with it in the majority of the cha- 

 racters given above,) materially differing in the shortness and 

 thickness of the club of the antennae, and in the thorax, which 

 has the anterior sides rounded and not spinose, with one and 

 not three central fovese. 1 am not convinced that this species 

 ought not to be inserted in the first section of the genus ; al- 

 though I have, from its apparent general resemblance with the 

 preceding and subsequent species, introduced it here.
