"This singular insect was sent to me by my friend De Haan, of Ley- 

 den. It is remarkable for a dilated margin to the elytra, which ap- 

 pears to be membranous. The pubescence also of this species is 

 singular."

This insect is evidently distinct from any species yet described ; 

 it is in a very mutilated state, no tibiae and tarsi remaining. It is 

 described from the Rev. William Kirby's collection, liberally given 

 to the Entomological Society by that talented naturaHst.

"Fabricius described this insect from Sir Joseph Banks's cabinet, 

 as a species from the Cape of Good Hope. Olivier copied the error, 

 and figured one specimen, as obtained from the island of Bourbon. 

 Both writers are in error as to locality, as the insect is peculiar to 

 Java and the East Indian continent. Mr. Kirby has named the 

 above species in his collection E. Brightwellii, which I regard only as 

 a synonym of E. bicolor."
