ENTOMOLOGY. 339 



Another new species, is Macraspis pretiosa, De Breme (Ann. Soc. Ent. 

 Fr. ii, 303, pi. 8, f. 3), from Bogota. 



In the group Melolontliidee, De Breme (ibid. 305, pi. 9, f. 1) has cha- 

 racterized a very conspicuous new genus, Anatista : feelers tcu-joiiited, 

 the club five-jointed, the first two leaves short, the rest long and curved ; 

 snaffle (clypeus) much prolonged in front, covering the upper lip ; upper 

 jaws at the end obtusely two-toothed, destitute (according to the fig.) of a 

 molar face ; the jawblade coriaceous, unarmed ; the claws simple : a hand- 

 some new species, A. lafertei, from New Granada. 



Another genus, proposed by Le Guillou (Rev. Zool. 22-1) as new, Cau- 

 lobius, is identical with Silopa, Erichson. 



New species : Macrodadylus dimidiatus, Guer. (Mag. Zool. Ins. pi. 147), 

 from Mexico; Stngoderma falgicollis and ///*/}////.?, De Breme (Ann. Soc. 

 Ent. Fr. ii, 304, pi. 8, f. 5, 6), from Columbia ; AncylonycJia huloscricea, 

 iTila'icoUis, Scricaferruginea, Euchlora vittata (= horsfieldii, Hope,) Anomala 

 mfiventris, Popillia sulcata, truncata, casclimirensis, Kollar and Redt. 

 (Hiigel's Kaschm. 524), the first from the Himalaya, the rest from Cash- 

 mere ; Hoplia squamacea, eleyantala, Adoretus cribratus, White (Ann. Nat. 

 Hist, xiv, 424), from Hong Kong; Anomala boitsqucti, Le Guillou (Rev. 

 Zool. 223), from Mankassar ; Caulobius villoms, distinct from the species 

 described by Erichsou, and Heteronyx obscurus (ibid.), from Van Diemeu's 

 Land; Anisoplia marietti, Osculati (Col. race. p. 72, No. 5) : Nigra nitida 

 subtus albopilosa, clypeo subquadrato, capite thoraceqne nigro-cseraleia 

 punctatissimis, scutellum et prope scutellum villosa, elytris rugosis insequa- 

 liter sulcatis sulcis obsoletis marginibus exterioribus sulco longitudiuali 

 depresso instructis. Not uncommon in gardens and meadows about Con- 

 stantinople in the summer. 



Fischer v. "W. (Bull. Mosc. 46) reclaims the genus Catalasis, Dej., as 

 previously (1823) characterized by himself (Eutomogr. ii) under the name 

 Ci/plionotus, and describes C. anketeri, (Melol. id. Hbst.), from the Caucasus ; 

 C. monachus, Kryn., from Turkestan ; C. thoracicus, Kryu., from Sarepta ; C. 

 macropliyllm, affinis, new species, from Turkestan. 



Von Heyden (Entom. Zeit. 14) has assigned the neighbourhood of Con- 

 stantinople as the native region of Propomacrw Iiimucronatus (Scarab, id., 

 Pall.) The female, now first made known, differs from the male in having 

 the corslet narrower, the fore shanks not elongated, scarcely curved, and des- 

 titute of the tooth inside. 



To the group Melitophila relate Observations critiques sur la famille dos 

 Lamellicornes Melitophiles, par M. le Dr. Schaum (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. ii, 

 333.) A work of much labour, which rectifies the synonyms in numerous 

 instances, mostly from personal examination of the authentic specimens. 

 He has annexed as new species, or hitherto overlooked, Ceratorhina (Amau- 

 rodes) passerinii, Westw., $ ; Hctfrorhina sitavis, from Guinea ; H. smaray-
