  This 
  species 
  is 
  also 
  found 
  in 
  S. 
  Africa, 
  Madagascar, 
  

   Mauritius, 
  and 
  Seychelles. 
  It 
  is 
  separated 
  from

   ventris, 
  Westw., 
  to 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  closely 
  allied, 
  by 
  the 
  shorter 
  

   rostrum, 
  which 
  only 
  about 
  reaches 
  the 
  posterior

  I 
  take 
  this 
  opportunity
