roundish eyes. 1. reticulatus {Sep. id.), F. 2. leucographus (Fisch. ? ib.319), new species. 3. elongatus (Sep.), Oliv. 4. carinatus (Reiche, ib.321), new species. 5. lacunosus, Ill. (= Sepid. plicatum, Wied.) 6. aneus (Dej. ib. 323), new species. 7. garyi (ib. 324), new species. 8. acumi-natus (Sep.) Quens. Schonh. 9. vittatus {Sep.) F.
18. Genus Clinocranion, Sol. Eyes rather rounded, as in the last, but theforehead descending perpendicularly (as in the Lamise); the feet longer,especially the fore pair, of which the first is longer than the last joint.Two species, both new. 1. Cl. spinosum (Gory) : nigrum oblongum, pro-thorace lateribus antice serrato medio subuncinato, elytris punctatis granu-latis et dorso spinis paucis, pedibus angustioribus. Long. 13 millim. 2.plamtum: nigrum oblongum, prothoraee lateribus obtuse angulatis antebasin emarginatis, elytris punctatis dorso tuberculis conicis acutis numerosisseriatis costa marginali serrata retrorsum spinosa, antennis compressis.Long. 17 millim. Both from South Africa .
19. Genus Oxura, Kby. With the head more slender, the corslet longer,almost cylindrical. 1. setosa, Kby. 2. vestita (Dej. ib. 331), new species.Both from the Cape.
Another new species belonging to the genus Phanerotoma is Moluris her-tolinii , Guerin (Mag. Zool. Ins. pi. 148), from Mozambique . It is remark-able for its superior size and elongated figure.
Fischer v. W. (Bull. Mosc. 69) has considered the Plaptidee of Russia much in detail. Of the genus Maps in its restricted application forty-eightspecies are given, many of them new. Those with the corslet padded (pulvinate), and the seutel visible, are separated as the subgenus Peltarium,; butthe group cannot be preserved, since it is made up of species of Blaps propr.(as PI. caudata, Gebl.), along with females of Prosodes, Eseh. {P. bicostatum ,marginatum, punctatum, Fisch.) So also the proposed new genus Bila, themajority of the species referred to which are males of Prosodes, Esch. (e. g.B. attemata, Fisch., and Blaps cylindrica, Ilbst.) Of all the species referredto the genus Dila, as far as I am acquainted with them, the first alone, BlapsIcevicollis, Gebl., may claim to be considered as a distinct type, differingfrom Blaps by the narrow figure, and more especially by the toothed forethighs. Nyctipates, Dej., is also admitted as a genus. It agrees withProsodes in essential characters, and is distinguished by the angular marginof the shards, and the spiny outer edge of the fore shanks. ConsequentlyPeltarium must merge, Bila be restricted to PI. lavicollis, and Nyctipatesbe united with Prosodes {PI. attenuata, F., cylindrica, Ilbst.)
To the Pediniles, Fischer, v. W. has added Platyscelis labialis andPandarusfemoralis (Bull. Mosc. 122, 141), both from Anatolia ; and to theOpatrides, Opatrum granulosum, from Songary; intermedium, from Southern Russia ; and pruinosum, from Turkestan (ibid. 126); while Notocorax wester-manm, from Java , has been made known by Mannerheim (ibid. 862.)
