 The latter is the locality of L. diluatia, Guerin, on 

 the type specimen with ticket in his own writing. 1 think 

 it is scarcely separable from Zenkeri; the thorax is a little 

 more contracted at the base, and the elytra and suture 

 finely yellow at the margins.

 I have not seen any specimens of this from the African 

 coast, and I very much doubt the correctness of the 

 synonymy. The female is similar to that of mauritanica, 

 Lin., but has rudimentary elytra. I have not seen specimens 

 of that species from the European side.

The only female which I can refer without doubt to this 

 species is from Algiers, and has no rudiments of elytra ; 

 while females from Spain and Portugal, which I think 

 referable to Beichei, J, D,, have rudimentary elytra, and 

 a well-developed scutellum. The male has the dorsal seg- 

 ments of the abdomen with acute, produced hind angles, 

 especially the two before the last ; the apex is narrow and 

 rounded,

I have not seen authentic specimens of any of Mots.' 

 Eastern species, and refer two specimens in Brusse's 

 Museum with some doubt to this.
