belong to Epipedonota, Solier, aud are mere varieties of one species. 



4. N. sen-ex, Lac., also an Hpipidonota, and perhaps only a variety of ebenina. 



5. N. crystallisata, Lac., a good species of the same genus. 6. N. moniUs, 

 Lac., which Waterhouse considers a variety of ebenina, has been brought 

 home by Darwyii also. 7. N. andicola, Lac., is Auladem id., Solier. 8. 

 N. desertorum. '9. serva. 10. caraboldes. 14. picta. 15. dejeanii, Lac., 

 belong to Mitragenius, Solier, aud are here reduced to three species, Nos. 

 8, 10, and 14 being pronounced only varieties of one species. 11. N. multi- 

 costa, Guer., is Callyntra id., Solier. 12. N. rmtica, Dej., comes very near 

 Epipedonota ruffOsa,Wat., and is perhaps a variety of it. 13. N.jugletii, Buq., 

 probably N. crenicosta, Guer., is au Auladera, Sol. 14. N. mamillonea, Lac., 

 is Pledraseelis id., Sol.; and 17. N. discicollis == Plectr. id., Sol. 18. N. 

 leemcollis (Dup.) is Plectr. pilipes, Sol. 19. N. klugii, Buq., is Plectr 

 glabralits, Sol., and Nyct. lavigata, Er. (in Meyeu's Travels.) 20, 21. N. 

 i-cstita, and deplanata (the Cerostente like-named of Sol.) 22. N. plicati- 

 peniiis, Lac., is N. transverso-sulcata, Wat. (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1841.) 23. 

 N. nelulosa, Buq., picta, Kl., is N. decorata of Erichsou. Waterhouse is 

 disposed to arrange this species under Cerostena, but it comes surely much 

 nearer to Gyriosonius. 24. N.pidpes, Dej. = N. nodosa and brunnipes, Latr. 

 Of the genus Entomoderes Waterhouse admits draco, satanicus, and erebi, as 

 good species, and accounts E. celluJostis, Lac., a sniaR specimen of erebi. 

 The three species of Entomoderes and Nos. 5 and 9 of Nyctelia are described 

 at large. The author adds as new, Nyct. bremii, (p. 43) from Mendoza, 

 which comes very near N. westicoodii, Wat., and Gyriosomus wlutei (p. 50), 

 from Coquirnbo. With respect to the genus Gyriosomus, the remark is made 

 (p. 53) that G. luczotii, bridt/esii, and elotigatus have the fore breastplate 

 (prosternum) contracted and prolonged backwards beyond the insertion of 

 the legs, while in G. hopei and marmoratus it is broader, and not prolonged 

 behind. 



In the group Tagenites, Waterhouse, (ib. p. 53) gives two new species, 

 Gonogenius brevipes, distinguished from G. vulgaris by its shorter figure, 

 narrower head, shorter corslet, with the sides uniformly rounded, the spaces 

 between the scores of the shards punctured and wrinkled, and the legs 

 shorter, with very angular shanks, and Psammeticus crassicornis, differing 

 from Ps. costatus principally in having the feelers twice as thick. Both are 

 from Coquimbo. 



Of the group Zopherites, the genus Zopherus has been enriched with a 

 remarkable new species from Columbia, Z. bremii, Gueriu (Rev. Zool. 48), 

 De Brcme (Ann. Soc. Eut. Fr. ii, 307, pi. 9, f. 2.) 



To the group Praocites\\a must refer an insect which Fischer v. W. 

 (Bull. Mosc. 125) has described as Sternodes mannerkeimii, from specimens 

 in Eschscholtz's collection, where it stood without any note of locality.
