The excellent figure by M. Migneaux renders it unnecessary 
to add any thing to the above rubric, except that the light parts 
are einereous or glaucous and the dark parts fuscous. 
Several specimens received from the neighbourhood of 
ek Town. 
This genus, it is scarcely necessary to say, has nothing to 
do with Lamia textor, although that species stands as the first 
species under a genus of this name in Dejean’s Catalogue.
