Remove Similar Lines from a File

I have a log file "logreport" that contains several lines as seen below:


04:20:00 /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Agent snmpd appeared dead but responded to ping
06:38:08 /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Agent snmpd appeared dead but responded to ping
07:11:05 /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Agent snmpd appeared dead but responded to ping


I would like to edit the report to remove entries that report duplicate events (event being the portion highlighted in red). I have no knowledge of what the events will be or how long they are. I am trying to produce an output close to what is seen below:


04:20:00 /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Agent snmpd appeared dead but responded to ping
This Error was reproduced 2 times
