from South Africa and Brazil. 97 



67 a. Cette laive rappelle, par sa forme generale, celle de 

 V Aspidosoma candelarium, Reiche, decrite et figur^e par 

 Goureau dans les 'Annalesde la Societe entomologique de 

 France/ 1845, pi. 7. ii. figs. 1-6 ; mais elle en diff^re 

 (autant, du raoins, qu'il est permis d'en juger sur un exera- 

 plaire piqiid et deja vieux) par le premier arceau thoracique 

 un peu plus allonge et plus attdnu^ en avant, ainsi que par 

 les 2^ et 3® plus grands, sensiblement plus longs que les 

 suivants. Les tubercules stigraatiftres des cot^s des segments 

 abdominaux ne sont pas saillants comme dans la figure citee 

 ci-dessus, mais cela tient sans doute k I'etat de dessication de 

 cette larve. Quant aux pattes, elles sont conformdas de 

 ni^me, frangees de quelques soies a leur bord interne et 

 terminees par un double crochet. — Long. 9 mill.; larg. max. 

 21 mill.]

[Oct. 25, 1825. At Discoberto, near Joao Pedro's house. 

 " Lampyris^ "] 



Lampyris, L. 



64-66. Sp. ?, 3 cJ . — Afrique australe. L. conspicuce, G:y\^., 



vicinus, sed scutello abdomineque flavis. 



[No. 88 [66], " 13 Diiplic. L L," was captured at 7.30 P.M. 

 on Oct. 6, 1814, at Nowsakamma River, Mossel Bay. 

 " Abdominis pars alba lucem reddit. v. J." (Catalogus). 

 The reference is evidently to an undiscovered Journal of 

 South-African travel. Leach considered the species new, and 

 Burchell suggested the name uliginaria, B., for it, but in 

 his Banksian Collation doubtfully sets it down as " Lampyris 

 marginata ji." 



No. 92 [64], "6. Dupl. L L," was captured at 8 p.m. on 

 Oct. 3, 1814, at Sylvan Station, north of Georgetown. 

 Leach considered it as possibly the same form as that figured 

 by Olivier (''pi. i. f. 5 J?"), and Burchell suggested the 

 name " sylvatica, B." In his Olivier Collation Burchell noted 

 the same resemblance as follows: — ''92. Lampyris mauri- 

 tanica quoad figuram (Genus 28, Tab. i. fig. 5 b) sed fig. 5 a 

 est valde diversa." 



The third specimen [65] bears only the date 3. 10. 14 

 (when Burchell was at " Sylvan Station"), with the figure 7 

 and an imperfect letter, which probaljy indicates p.[m.].]
