 long, curved, prominent, rufous, black on the outer

 Mr. Janson before the Entomological Society of London, March 5th,

 but just to Mr. Janson to observe, that in enumerating it previously as 

 distinct, he did soon the strength of Mr. Bold's record of the species as 

 an undescribed one; Mr. Janson not having, at that time, had an oppor- 

 tunity of examining the specimens.]
