STAG-CHAFFER. 
coiroexus hrunneus, maxillis hrevibus : dente laterali 
elevato. 
The exotic species of this genus are mostly na- 
tives of America, and one in particular, frequently 
found in Virginia, is so nearly allied to the English 
Stag-Beetle as hardly to differ, except in having 
fewer denticulations or divisions on the jaws. 
A highly elegant species has lately been dis- 
covered in New Holland. This differs from the 
rest in being entirely of a beautiful golden green 
colour, with short, sharp-pointed, denticulated 
jaws of a brilliant copper-colour. The whole 
length of the Insect is rather more than an inch.
