146 REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIII. 



Mimela Passerinii., Hope (Trans. Linn. Soc. xix, p. 108), is a new species 

 from Sylhet. 



Aiicistrosoma rufpes (Nclol. ruf. y Latr.), again found by Goudot, at tlie 

 upper part of tlie river Magdaleua, and two new species, Macrodactylits 

 tentdlineatus, anAjlacolineatus, from the Cordilleras of New Granada, have 

 been described liy Gueriu. (Rev. Zool. p. 19.) 



A figure of Pachi/trichia castanea, Hope (see Report for 1841, p. 230), lias 

 been given in the 'Transact. Ent. Soc. Loud.' iii, pi. 13, fig. 4. With 

 reference to this, Westwood expresses his opinion in a note (p. 283), that the 

 genus should be placed with the Glaphyridse, and thinks that the elongated 

 bipartite upper lip, and the edentate maxilla;, and the figure of the mentum, 

 remove it from Eucheirtts. I am, however, still of opinion that the genus is 

 the most closely allied to Eucheims ; it differs from the Glaphyridse in the 

 strong build of the body, the powerful tarsi with toothed claws, and in the 

 absence of membranous paraglossa3. 



Glaphyridse. Two new Syrian species of AmpJiicoma are, A. syriaca, 

 and cupripennis, Redteubacher (Russegg. Reis. i, s. 19.) The latter agrees 

 with the A. papaveris proposed by Sturm at the same time. (Catal. p. 342, 

 tab. ii, fig. 8.) 



Cetouiidse. Two new Goliath-forms have been illustrated by Westwood 

 (Arc. Ent. p. 71, pi. 47) : \.Amaurodes, a subgen. of Ceratorliina: $ , ante- 

 rior tibiae denticulated on the inner side, externally smooth, as are the four 

 posterior tibiae. Cephalic horn cloven, colour dull. A. Passerinii, from 

 Mozambique, from a drawing by M. Passeriui. It evidently affords the 

 transition to Mecynorhina, so that the artificial nature of the present distinc- 

 tions is rendered very manifest. 2. Asthenorhina, which differs from Heterv- 

 rhiiiH chiefly in the large, iuferiorly two-toothed anterior femora ; anterior 

 tibiee with an indistinct tooth. A. Tiirneri, from Tropical Africa. 



Hope (Linn. Trans, xix, p. 107, tab. x, fig. 1) gives the characters of a 

 new genus, Diphyllocera, which has been already noticed under the name 

 Aiiomalocera, in last year's Report, p. 197. (Translated Reports, p. 193 

 (237).) 



In the ' Transact. Eiit. Soc. Lond.' iii, a number of Cetonise have been de- 

 scribed by Bainbridge (p. 214), Saunders (p. 234), and Hope (p. 280), all of 

 which, however, have been already referred to in former Reports from the 

 Proc. Eut. Soc. (Ann. Nat. Hist.) 



Lucanidse. Some remarkable species of this group have been excel- 

 lently figured by Sturm (Catal.) : Ryssonotits nebulosus, Chiasognathus 

 Grantii, Coryptiiis capensis, Dej. (Xiphodontus Antilope, Westw.), and Lu- 

 canm lurcicus, St., a new species from Constantinople, differing from 

 L. cervus in having six antenna! plates ; I think, however, that it is to be 

 regarded as an extraordinarily large and fully developed L. tetraodon, Thuub.
