352 REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIV. 



Munich; and Callidium similare, Kiistcr (Kaf. Eur. i, 54), from Dalmatia 

 aud Monteuegro. 



Of the group Lamiaruc, Chevrolat (Rev. Zool. 343) has described three 

 new species of Stemotomis (Cerostema, Dej.), St. bohemanni, and niveisparsa, 

 from Christmas Bay, and S. calliaudi, found by Cuiliiaud, on his journey to 

 Mcroe, in a little oasis (El Uah el Bahryeh), and by Latreille (Voyage a 

 Meroe) considered to be L. ornata, Oliv. 



Westwood (Arc. Eiit. pi. 69, 78, 84, 85, 86) has delineated the 

 genus Stemotomis, and the kindred African forms more particularly. The 

 new species are St. mrescens, palinii, (which is afterwards (p. 147) 

 identified with L. principalis, Dalrn.,) both from Sierra Leone ; St. comes, 

 (which it is subsequently remarked is L. cormitor, P.) ; St. ? princeps, from 

 Guinea ; St. eremita, from Senegal ; St. ? bicolor, from the Gold Coast ; St. 

 amabilis, from the Ashautee country ; St.ferreti, from Abyssinia ; St. tagar- 

 vei, from Guinea ; and the two described contemporaneously by Chevrolat, 

 St. bohemanni and niveisparsa, (see above.) 



The following also are new : Batocera princeps, Cerosterna fasciculata, 

 Pliytcccia pallidipennis and inierrupta, Kollar and Redt. (Hiig. Kaschm.), 

 the first from Massuri, in the Himalaya, the others from Cashmere ; Saperda 

 (Isoscelii) niyriceps, White (Ann. Nat. Hist, xiv, 425), from Hong Kong; 

 Amphionycha luctuosa, Leseleur (Guer. Mag. Zool. Ins. pi. 138), from the 

 interior of Brazil; and Oberea ragusana (Dej.) Kiister (Kaf. Eur. i, 55), 

 from Dalmatia. 



Of the Leptureta, the genus Euryptem has received the addition of a 

 new species, E. vemtsta, De Breme (Ann. Soc. Eut. Er. ii, 311, pi. 9, f. 8), 

 from Brazil. 



The transformation of Enjates faber has been described by Lucas (Ann. 

 Soc. Ent. Fr. ii, 161) : of Morimus lugubris and Saperda scalaris, by Gon- 

 reau (ib. 427) ; of Oberea pupillata, by Serville (ibid. L.) 



CHRysoMELiNyE Suffrian (Eutom. Zeit. 49, 89, 135, 186, 206, 241, 270) 

 has published an arrangement of the German species of Cassida. This work 

 is the more welcome, as there are great difficulties in the determination of a 

 number of the native species. The essay is important also iu other respects. 

 The golden and mother-of-pearl gloss in several species has been carefully 

 attended to. By repeated observations the author has made out that this 

 gloss in most of the species appears not till a long time after the nymph 

 skin is cast, and simultaneously with the maturity of the sexual faculty ; 

 that is, in many species, not for three or four weeks, and in that case the 

 specimens without the gloss are as common as those that possess it, or even 

 more so (C. hemisphcerica, sanguinosa, vibez, denticollis, Moris, sanguiuolenta, 

 lucida, nebiilosa, olsoleta) ; in others the period is shorter, and individuals 

 destitute of the gloss are rare (C. nobilis, oblonf/a} ; while in others yet the
