The above insect was originally described from 

 Mr. Kirby 's Cabinet ; in his MSS. he has given it 

 the name of Macrocheilus Bensoni, which I retain. 

 In form it appears intermediate between Planetes of 

 MacLeay, and Omphra of Leach ; the type of the 

 former is PL Bimaculatus MacLeay, of the latter, 

 Galerita hirta Fab.
