338 REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIV. 



Southern Russia and Siberia ; Kollarand Redt. (HiigePs Kaschm. 515-523), 

 Ateuchus depotus, Gymnopleurus opacus, Sisyphus casckmirensis, Onitis casta- 

 neus, all from Cashmere ; 0. himalejicus, Copris sacontala, froin Massuri, in 

 Upper India ; C. sexdentata, Onthophagiis brama, angulatiis, excavatnx, from 

 Cashmere; Le Guillou (Guer. Rev. Zool. 223) gives Onthophagus diffi- 

 cilis from Borneo ; and White (Ann. Nat. Hist, xiv, 423), Sisyphus lowrin- 

 r/ii, Onthophagus lifurcalis, tauruuts, suturalis, from Hong Kong. Buquet 

 (Guer. Rev. Zool. 19) has enriched the genus Hyboma with four new 

 species from Columbia, //. chalcea, Jiippona, arrogans, (equinoctialis ; the 

 second and third, perhaps only varieties of one species, are distinguished 

 by their very short fore feet, in which they differ from all the species pre- 

 viously known, though without claiming the rank of a separate genus. 



The group Dynastidce has been aggrandized with three new genera by De 

 Breme (Ann. Soc. Eut. Fr. ii) : 1. Xenodorus (p. 296, pi. 7, f. 8), founded on 

 Oeotr.janus, P., adjoins Oryctcs and Phylloguathus, having an unarmed, cori- 

 aceous, ciliated jawblade (mala), and simple, conical, obtuse, upper jaws. 2. 

 Lycomedes (p. 299, pi. 8, f. 12), with the jawblade divided at the tip, and 

 below this with a third tooth inside, the upper jaws outwardly three-toothed 

 towards the end, the with one claw of the fore feet elongated, and having 

 a tooth at the base. The male has a larger horn of the head divided at the 

 end, behind it a tubercle, and a broad, depressed, ascending horn on the pro- 

 thorax. L. reichei, new species from Columbia, about the size of Se. abde- 

 rus, Sturm, and, like it, having a dappled coat of fine felted hairs. 3. 

 Antodon (p. 302, pi. 8, f. 4), strongly signalized by the jawblade, which is 

 indeed unarmed, but has the entire inner edge grooved crosswise like a file. 

 The male has a small, broad, obtusely three-toothed horn of the head. A. 

 litrmeisteri, giveu as a new species from Brazil, is already described (the $> ) 

 by Laporte, in the first volume of the same Annals, as Agaocephala goryi. 



In the group Rutelida Guerin (Rev. Zool. 259) has made known a new 

 Chrysophora, from Mexico, Chr. nietii, for which he also constitutes a spe- 

 cial subgenus, Macropoides, the characters of which and the relation it bears 

 to the allied forms will appear from the annexed table : 



I. Upper jaws outwardly rounded and dilated : A. Hind feet of the male 

 longer than the shank : Chrysophora. B. Do. shorter, &c. 1. All the claws 

 simple : Chrysina. 2. The outer claw of the two anterior pairs cloven : 

 Heterosternus. II. Upper jaws outwardly straight and not dilated, the 

 point ascending in a curve ; the outer claw of all the feet cloven : Nacro- 

 poides. III. Upper jaws outwardly notched, with two teeth : A. Hind feet 

 longer than the shank : Anisocheirus (Chrysoph. kirbyi, Gray.) B. Do. shorter, 

 &c. Rutela, Pelidnota, &c. 



Mr. Nieto discovered the grub of Chrysina macropits in the stem of a 

 gigantic Ficus; the Beetle appears the middle- of June, and continues until 

 July (ibid.)
