340 REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIV. 



ditifi, Hbst., distinguished from africaua by the yellow sides of the shards, 

 &c.; H. induta, from Christmas Bay; Gymnetls Bonplandii, Paraguay; Dis- 

 copeltis concinna, Senegambia ; Phoxomela abrupta, Christmas Bay ; Osnythyrea 

 (tiiiabilis, Algoa Bay ; 0. <e)ieicoUis,perroudii, Christmas Bay ; Aplasta dichroa, 

 littidenta, do.; Cetonia (Prottftia) brct/iii, Manilla; C. (Pachnodci) Jiistrio,^., 

 Arabia; PantoJin ebcuiiia, mbrofasciata, Madagascar; Pyyora. erythroderes, 

 do.; Dlplof/natha blancliardi, Abyssinia; Ptychophoftis fliietiger, Senegambia; 

 Ctenochilus platyrrhimis, East Indies; Scaptobius aciculatus, the Cape of 

 Good Hope ; Lissogenius planicollis, Guinea ; Agenius clavus, Caffraria. The 

 genera Phoxomela, Aphtsta, Lissogenius are new, To Phoxomela belongs, 

 besides the uew species named above, Get. umbrosa, Gory, Perch. The two 

 new species of Aplasta resemble Auoplochilus ; while Lissogenius is a 

 Cremastochilus, with five-jointed feet and almost abortive claws. 



Westwood has again (in his Arcana Eutom.) made some additions to 

 the history of the Melitopliila. In pi. 73 both sexes are figured of Licit 

 sommeri, a species like /. wcberi even to illusion, but the author discriminates 

 it, independent of the different locality, by the more obliquely truncated 

 horns of the head of $ , and the more obtuse teeth of the fore shanks of <j> , 

 (the latter mark I cannot observe, but a constant difference between /. som- 

 meri <j> and /. weberi $ , seems to lie in this, that the fore margin of the 

 snaffle (clypeus) in the first is simply notched, in the second slightly three- 

 lobed, and that the hind shanks of the former are not toothed, while in the 

 latter they are armed in the middle with two little teeth, a shorter and a 

 longer;) aholnca beskii, Dej., from Brazil. PL 81 exhibits the $ of Cera- 

 torldna (Ccelorliina) aurata, Westw., and a very conspicuoxis species from 

 Cape Pahnas, given by Harris (Journ. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist, iv, pi. 21), 

 under the name Mecynorhina savagei, and referred to also in a communication 

 by Klug. (Uebersicht der bekaunteu Arteu der Gattung Goliutlms, Mouats- 

 ber. Berl. Akad. 1843, p. 293.) It resembles M. polyphemus, but is at 

 once known by its yellow hind feet. 



Kollar and Redt. (in Hiigel's Kaschmir) have described and figured the 

 following new species : Corypltocera hirti ventris (p. 528), C. affinis (530), 

 Proteetia fiavoguttata (530, pi. 25, f. 2.) 



LUCANID^E. The same work gives a new figure (pi. 24, f. 4) of Lucanus 

 lunifer, Hope, from the Himalaya, and characterizes a new species, Dorcas 

 punctato-striatus (p. 532.) 



Percherou (Guer. Mag. Zool. Ins. pi. 134, 135) has given a second sup- 

 plement to his monograph of Passalus, adding the following new species : 

 A. With the club of the feelers six-leaved . 1. P. navieulator, Perch., from 

 Vanicoro or Hogoleu, certainly from one of the South Sea islands. 2. P. 

 cantori, Hope, from Assam. 3. P. canonts, Perch., from the East Indies, or 

 some of the isles adjacent. B. The club of the feelers five-leaved : 4. P.
