192 REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIII. 



F., from Italy. Westwood (Proc. Ent. Soc. Lond., p. 74) has instituted two 

 new large species from Cape Palmas (Guinea) : Ectrichodia imperialis, and 

 Plf/fi/merus ducalis, as also a new genus Edinodems : with a very large pro- 

 thorax, dilated anteriorly above the articulation of the fore-legs, and projecting 

 posteriorly above the hemelytra in two lobes, very long fore-legs, with thick 

 femora and straight tibiae. Antennae 4-jointed, first joint long, the rest gra- 

 dually shorter and more slender, small intcrnodes in the first two articulations 

 abdomen rounded, flat, with uncovered sides. Whether the anterior tibia; 

 have cushions or not, and the nature of the claws, is not stated ; E. longi- 

 manus, from Sincapore ? A new species from New Zealand is Pirates ephip- 

 piyer, White. (Dieffenb. Trav. ii, p. 283.) 



GALGTJLITES. Guerin (Rev. Zool. p. 112) has shown that Nattcoris rugosa, 

 Desjardins, is a Mow onyx, with the hemelytra coherent at the suture and not 

 covering the wings, and that the statement of Serville and Bridle, that this 

 part is the scultellum, is erroneous. In case it should be thought advisable 

 to constitute a distinct genus of this species he proposes for it the name of 

 Pelto-pJiorns. He further describes as new species, Pelogonus indicus, from 

 the Neilgherries, P. Perboschii, from the Bay of Cainpeachy, MononycJius 

 fuscipes, from Columbia, M. laticollis, from New Guinea. 



FULGOB.ELLJE. Hope (Trans. Liu. Soc. xix, p. 132) has enriched this 

 family with a number of new species from Sylhet, belonging to the genera : 

 ApJutna (amabilis, aurora) Lystra (Westwoodii, dimidiata, punicea), Eury- 

 brachis (basalis, jmlverosa, reversa, insifjnis) and Corethrura (fuscovaria}, and 

 they are all illustrated with beautiful figures by Westwood. The new 

 genus Corethura, so named from the long fleecy tuft at the extremity of the 

 abdomen, has the fore-legs equally dilated with those of Eurybrachis, but a 

 narrow, compressed face with high keels. 



Westwood (Arcana Eutom. pi. 57) has figured two new Indian Fulgo- 

 rellaj : one is a Lystra (tricolor), from Assam, the other constitutes a new 

 genus Gyrene, a smaller form, with a conical projection of the head, upon 

 which the lateral keels of the front are continued, without ocelli, with very 

 broad, vertical, tough, coriaceous hemelytra, the posterior angle of which is 

 prolonged into a point. C. guttulata, W., is from Sumatra. The Berlin 

 collection possesses a second species, from the Sound of Sincapore. 



STRIDULANTES. Some species are figured by Westwood (Arcan. Entom.) : 

 Cicada imperatoria, a gigantic new species from the East Indies (pi. 51), C. 

 pulchella, W., from the Himalayah, C. %-notata, W., a beautifully coloured 

 new species from Assam. 



APHIDII. Monograph of the families of the Plant-lice (Phytophtltires) by 

 Kaltenbach. Part I. The Leaf- and Earth-lice (Blatt- and Erdliiuse) (Aphi- 

 dina et Hyponomeutes), with illustrative figures. (Aix, 1843.) A very pro- 

 found work, and the more valuable as being the fruit of actual experience.
