Dcjcan's collection, of which the city of Lyon purchased the portions Pal- 

 picorues and Trimera. The eleven species described are arranged as follows : 

 A. Shards without any score : 1. C.globulosvm, Kl. (Hydrob. rotundatus, Dej.), 

 from Louisiana and South America ; this stood in the Berlin Museum as C. 

 <//obttlare, a name afterwards suppressed when the same species was received 

 from Pennsylvania, and we learned to know it as Hydrophilits exstrlatus, 

 Say. B. Shards with a single score : 2. C. orbiculare (Hydroph. id., F.), 

 from Europe, Madagascar, and the East Indies. Two species seem to be 

 mixed up here, C. orbiculare, from Europe and the East Indies, and C. punc- 

 t iilatum (Sphcef. id., KL), from Madagascar and Angola, double the size of the 

 former, less convex, and more closely and finely punctured. C. Shards with 

 ten punctured scores: a. The spaces between with larger punctures: 3. 



C. cat/annum, Lacord., from Cayenne. b. The outermost space alone with 

 stronger punctures, a. The score next the scam prolonged to the scutel : 

 4. C. capense, Dej., from the Cape and the East Indies (in this museum, 

 from different parts of India only, and considered to be the Splicer, hydro- 

 philoides, Mac L., Annul. Javan.) /3. Seam-score not extending to the 

 scutel: 5. C. subrotimdum (Hydroph. id., F., = Cycl. lebasii, Dej.), from 

 New Granada, c. The spaces without larger punctures : a. The seam-score 

 not extending to the scutel : 6. C. sublcceigatum, Muls., the country 

 unknown. 7. C.Jlavicorne, Sell., from Cuba and Jamaica. /3. The seam-score 

 prolonged to the scutel : 8. C. picicorne, Sch., from Jamaica. 9. C. ameri-

D. Shards with eleven punctured scores : 11. G. abdomlnale (Sphecrid. id., 

 F.), from the Isle of France, Madagascar, and different West Indian islands, 

 found also in Sardinia.- The group C, c, /3 will include, besides, Sjiharid.
