326 REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIV. 



race subquadrato, elytris pedibus abdomineque rufotestaceis, tarsis uigres- 

 centibus ; Long. 4 4| lin.), distinguished from C. pilosa by the superior 

 size, shorter thorax, and the light colour of the under side ; found on vine- 

 stocks. 



Fischer v. W. (Bull. Mosc. 33) describes four new species of Podabrus, 

 from Southern Russia and Sougary. 



Kollar and Redt. (Hug. K. 509. pi. 23, 24) have figured Cantharis ceru- 

 leomaculata and Anisoteles bimaculatus, (Hope,) from Cashmere ; the generic 

 characters of the latter are given. The name Tylocerus, Dalmau (Anal. Ent. 

 1825), has the priority. In this family they place also Deromma, a genus 

 characterized as new, but which is identical with Idyia, Lap., and better 

 placed among the Melyridae, next to Epiphyta, Dej. (= Prionocerm, Perty), 

 with which Dejeau even united it. There are now three species of it 

 described: 1, /. terminate, Lap. (= melanura, Dej.), from Senegal; 2, Canth. 

 (I ulna, Schonh., from the East Indies ; 3, Deromma melanura, Kollar and 

 Redt. (Hiig. K. 512, pi. 25, f. 6), from Cashmere. 



Blauchard (d'Orb. Voy. 104) has described a great number of South 

 American species, and one new genus, Psilorhynchus. This agrees with 

 Chauliognathus (Calliauthia, Dej.), except in the form of the head and 

 thorax. The head is tapered behind, so that at the base it is but half as 

 broad as the thorax, and contracted into a snout below the eyes and above 

 the feelers; both pair of jaws (mandibulfc, maxillae) are long and narrow; 

 the last joint of the palps completely oval ; feelers thin, filiform, rather 

 shorter than the body ; thorax narrowed in front ; Ps. bifasciatus, new species, 

 from Corrientes. The other new species are, Chauliognathus plagiatus, 

 from Rio Janeiro; Oh. signaticollis, ochraceus, pattens, circumdatus, sulcati- 

 collis, yracilis, from Bolivia ; Telephones hiteus, flavwentris, denticornis, from 

 Brazil; T. ruficeps, janthuiipennis, Silis plana, armaticollis, simplicicollis, 

 from Bolivia; S. pallens, heta, amana, from Brazil; Nalthinus fuscescens, 

 sellatus, cariegatipennis, from Bolivia. 



Le Guillou (Rev. Zool. 223) has characterized a new species from the 

 Straits of Magellan, Tel. magellanicus. 



MELYRIDES. Eischerv. W. (Bull. Mosc. 35) separates from Malaehius 

 the species cormittis and lipustulatus as the genus Ceratistes, which does not 

 seem to me well-founded, as every species of Malaehius has its peculiar form 

 of feelers and head, and from these the characters of the new genus are drawn. 

 Nalthinus equestris, Fisch. (ibid. 37), seems to be placed by mistake 

 merely among the new species, as the spec. char, shows it to be no other 

 than NalacJnus equestris, E. Dasytes analis, Eisch. (ibid. 38), is a new spe- 

 cies from Sougary. 



K iister (Kaf. Eur. i, 20) has added to the genus Atelestus a second species, 

 At. erichsoiiii, discovered in the island of Lissa, in Dalmatia.
