 and interrupt us, Menet. (p. 53), are new; 1 Calosoma, 1 Met rim, 1 Nebria,

 which is new, Clil.asperulm, Menet. (p. 55), 1 Lachnophorus, new species; 

 L. eleaaiitulus, Maun. (p. 215), probably a Calybe ; lastly, 2 Bemlidium. 



lleichc (Rev. Zool. pp. 37, 75, 141, 177) has continued his description of 

 uew Columbian Carabicini. (Vide Report, 1842, p. 167.) There are now 

 described, 1 Chleenius, 1 Oodes, 6 Ancltonoderus, 1 Coptotoma, 3 Anchomenus, 

 7 Agoiunn, 1 O.ri/crepis, 1 Barysomus, 9 Sclowpliorws, 1 Hypolithus, 3 ILtr- 

 palus, 2 Acupalpus, 2 Tetragonoderus, 2 Lachnophorus. Two new species of 

 Peleciiim from New Granada, have been described by Gueriu. (Ib. p. 15.) 



Sturm, in his uew Catalogue (p. 325, t. i, figs. 1-3), has figured as new 

 species three well-marked Lebiee from Brazil, under the names of Liafaciata, 

 multipunctcda, \Q-pundata, which are indeed omitted in Dcjcau's work, but 

 have been described elsewhere ; the first being Chelonodcma clegans, Manner. 

 (Bull. Mosc. 1837, II, p. 32); the second Chelonodcma scripta, Laport. 

 (Etud. Ent. p. 50, notata, Brulle, Hist. d. lus. I, p. 219) ; the third, CJi. 

 affinis, Lap. (ut sup.) Also from Brazil is Ctenodaetyla bicolor, Casteluau 

 (described in Guer. Mag. de Zool. Ins. pi. 119), also not new, but identical 

 with Ct. Langsdorfii. (Klug. Jahrb.) 



Eairmaire (Auu. Soc. Ent. d. Er. 2 ser. i, p. 11, pi. 1) describes as a new 

 species, Chlaumis ophonioides, from New Holland, distinguished by the yellow 

 colour of the dorsum of the elytra, and AticJiomenus Nova Zelandiic, from 

 New Zealand ; the penultimate tarsal joint is deeply bilobed, consequently 

 it cannot be an Anchomenus, and the author is even disposed to make a dis- 

 tinct genus of it, Ctcnognatlms, the chief character of which is " machoires 

 pcctinees." The figure represents the inner border of the mandibles, pectinate
