[The females are numbered 78 [7], 79 [8], and 80 [9]. 

 The numbers in brackets are those of the specimens in the 

 present paper. No. 78 was submitted to Leach and marked 

 " not described," the name oblongus, B., being suggested by 

 Burchell both here and in the " Catalogus," where " new " is 

 written in pencil. In the Banksian Collation Burchell wrote 

 opposite 78-80 " L. proboscidens ? [Fab.] qui figuram habet 

 elytrorum apice majus angustatam." In the Olivier Collation 

 the same name is given to no. 80. The " Catalogus " men- 

 tions " 5 duplicates " and a single " L.," indicating that one 

 specimen was given to the British Museum.
