6. Elytris amplissimis, conjunctim fere orbiculatis, humeris 
oblique valde elevatis, femoribus tibiisque quatuor poste- 
rioribus dentatis. Long. 10-14 lin., lat. 8-10 lin. 
?. Elytris subparallelis ; costa humerali rotundatim et hori- 
zontaliter extensa; pedibus muticis. Long. 10-14 lin. 
There is no doubt that this is the species described by Bo- 
heman as the Bremez of Guérin. But he cannot have seen the 
original figure of that species given by Guérin in Lefebvre’s 
‘Voyage en Abyssinie,’ which is quite different from it, and 
much nearer L. foliaceus, or rather that form of it (whether 
species or variety) which I have above characterized as L. im- 
mersus. The reference which Boheman gives is to Guérin’s 
separate description in the ‘ Revue Zoologique,’ where there is 
no plate; but a figure of it is given in Lefebvre’s ‘ Voyage,’ 
of which the entomological part is by Guérin-Méneville. To 
remove all doubt from the subject, I figure both. Figs. 12, 
13, and 14 (see LZ. Breme?t posted) are taken from the plates 
in Lefebvre’s ‘Voyage,’ and represent Guérin’s Bremet. Fig.7 
represents Boheman’s Bremev. 
But although the latter is quite distinct, it is not new. 
Schénherr had previously described it under the name of L. 
dentipes, as may be seen from his description, which is as fol- 
lows :— 
“Niger, thoracis lateribus elytrisque latissimis flavis; his 
macula basali apiceque nigris; femoribus posterioribus den- 
tatis. om 
“ Habitat in Cap. Bon. Spei. Mus. Schénh. 
“Perhaps only the male of ZL. rostratus; the size of the 
body and the facies nearly as in it, viz. the disk of the thorax 
almost entirely black, the elytra with a large basal patch at 
the scutellum, and the apex sinuately black; to be sure, it is 
larger, and chiefly in the elytra almost twice as broad, com- 
peting with L. foliaceus in magnitude. The elytra behind the 
middle very much dilated, with the lateral margin reflexed. 
The shoulders very much raised, inflated; the suture not in- 
fuscate. The body below black; the abdomen with the sides 
luteous. Legs strong and black; the posterior thighs armed 
below with a strong subobtuse tooth. The wings pale, with 
the apex black.” 
The above, with one exception, is a perfect description of 
the present species: the exception is, “the elytra behind
