ENTOMOLOGY. 319 



interesting observations occur, and several new species are 

 described. (Bull. Mosc. p. 815.) 



CICINDELET.E. The following new species have been published : 

 3I<'!/(t<'<'iiJi(tJ(t oljscm-dta, Chaud. (Bull. Mosc. 454), from Mexico or Columbia ; 

 Pseudoxycheila lateguttata, Chaud. (ibid. 455), from Columbia, too hastily 

 separated, as it should seem, from Oxycheila lipustidata, on the examination 

 of a single specimen of each. ; Cicindela burmeisteri, kirilowii, Eischer v. W. 

 (ibid. p. 6), from Songary ; C. syriaca, Buquet (Ann. Soc. Ent. Era. ii, Bull, 

 p. xxxvi), from Syria ; C. himalayica, Kollar and Redt. (Hiig. Kaschm. 497, pi. 

 23, f. 1), from Cashmere (resembling C. margiueguttata, Dej.) ; C. posticalis, 

 White (Ann. Nat. Hist, xiv, 422), from Hong Kong ; C. nietii, Guer. (Rev. 

 Zool. 254), from Mexico ; Dromica giganlea (Mclly), De Breme (Ann. Soc. 

 Ent. Er. ii, 289, pi. 7, f. 3), from Christmas Bay ; Tricondyla ylobicollis, 

 vicina, conicicollis, Chaud. (Bull. Mosc. 456), from Manilla; Tr. pulchripes, 

 White (Ann. Nat. Hist, xiv, 422), from Hong Kong; Colliuris attemiata, 

 Koll. and Redt. (ib. 498), from Cashmere. 



CulUdcma loussignaultii, Guerin (s. Rep. 1843, p. 124), is figured in 

 'Mag. ZooUIus.' pi. 144, and the generic name altered to Hucallia. 



De Breme has given a figure and full description of the rare and little 

 known Cicindela lugubris, Dej., from Senegal. (Ann. Soc. Eut. Er. ii, 288, 



pi. 7, f- 1, 2.) 



CAHAEICI. Horuuug has given a complete catalogue of the species 

 found in tlie Harz (Grundlage Verz. Kaf. Harz.), extending to 276 species, 

 the four Cicindela? included. 



Schiodte has published an essay on the distribution of the Carabidse in 

 Denmark, as: a supplement to his work Damn. Eleutherata. (Kroyer Nat. 

 Tidsskr. N. R. i, 46.) 



New genera : 



Pleurosoma, Guer. (Rev. Zool. S ; Mag. Zool. Ins. pi. 136), most nearly 

 allied to Dyscolus, from which it is separated principally by differences 

 of habit ; the chest broader ; the shards convex, with rounded sides and 

 deeper furrows, having a certain resemblance to Eurysoma. 



The only species PL sulcatum, Guerin, from New Granada, is new. 



Rliytid&nts, Chaudoir (Bull. Mosc. 470), established for Dromius 10- 

 punctaius, (Buquet), Reiche (Rev. Zool. 1842), which, in fact, is no Dro- 

 mius, but belongs to the genus Sericoda, Kby. (Fua. Bor. Amer.), with which 

 therefore Rhytiderus is identical. 



Philophleeus, Chaud. (ibid. 472), established for Cymindis amtralis, Dej., 

 which differs from the genuine Cymindis in form, essential characters, and 

 economy, living under bark of trees, and in the author's opinion comes 

 nearer Thyreopterus.
