second joiiit small; the five next the club submouiliform ; the club large, oval, 

 pointed, covered with fine hairs. The eyes roundish. Prothorax posteriorly

 The legs rather short ; femora thick, in the first pair bowed, and having a 

 wide obtuse tooth ; middle tibia? with a strong tooth near the point. A. new

Waterhouse's monograph on the Pliilippiue species of Pachyrhynchus has 

 appeared in the 'Trans. Ent. Soc. of Lond.,' iii, p. 310. The species already 

 in part known by previous diagnoses, amount to twenty-three. The species 

 described by Chevrolat (vid. Report for ISi], p. 212) are not mentioned 

 by the author ; beside those noticed (1. c.), however, only orbifer, Wat., and 

 fimbriatus, Chev., coincide. But the majority of Chevrolat's species 

 have been referred by the author as varieties to his P. orbifer ; although 

 I have uo doubt that this applies to P drculiferus, and alboguttatus, 

 Cli., and should have little hesitation in uniting P. gemmans, pretiosus, 

 scintilla-its, ardens, and globulipennis, Ch., under one species, yet I cannot 

 persuade myself that with the different position of the scales this should 

 also be united with P. orbifer. The author, however, goes still further, 

 since in conclusion he expresses the opinion, that even P. moniliferus and 

 chloroli/ieatus are also included in this range of varieties, and that they 

 must be regarded merely as varieties of one and the same species, dependent 

 upon locality, or other causes. 



The same author's monograph on the Philippine species of Apocyrtus, 

 noticed in the last year's Report, has been concluded in the 'Ann. Nat. Hist.' 

 xi, p. 247. Of the 17 previously described species, in the first place, A, metal- 

 liens, and IcKticollis have been united as varieties, and A. cjibbirostris, and 

 subfasdatus have also been associated under A. Ericfisonii, Chevr. ; and then, 

 besides the three species proposed by me in Meyer's 'Reise,' eight other 

 new species are added, so that 26 species in all are known from the Philip- 

 pine Islands. 



Pinrontias, Sch., has been increased by Gebler (Bull. Acad. Petersb. i, 

 p. 39) with two new species, P. kareliuii and inauratus, both from the steppes 

 of Zongaria. 



As new Curculioues Redtenbacher (Russegg. Reis. i, p. 988) has de- 

 scribed, Bruchus signatus, Pliytonomus pictus, from Cyprus ; Tychius 

 ullioijattatus, and Motionychus syriacus, from Syria. The first is Bruchus 

 5-guttatus, Ol. 



New species from Angola are, Dereodus acumiiiatus, Tanymecus humilis, 

 Siderodactylus cuspidatus, Alcides leucogrammus, Baridius alcyonens, Erich- 

 son (1. c.) 



Maunerheim (Bull.Mosc. p. 289-298) has enumerated the following new spe- 

 cies of Curculiones and Bostrichi : 1. Erom California Apiou troglodytes,
