TENEBUIONES. Fischer v. W. (Bull. Mosc. 67) has proposed a new 

 genus in the group Tenlyrites, Rhostax, with the globose corslet much 

 pinched in behind, almost forming a footstalk. Both the species are new ; 

 Eh. karelini, from Songary, and Rh. menetriesii, from Southern Russia, 

 about the Caspian. Other new species described there are Tentyria kinder- 

 manid, from Southern Russia, by the Sarpa ; Anatolica torulosa, from Dau- 

 ria ; A. tltoracica, from Bucharia ; A. angulosa, from Nertschiusk. 



In the group Macropodites, Adesmia has received the addition of the fol- 

 lowing new species: A. vittce, Osculati (Col. 72, No. 6) : Nigra elongata 

 subdepressa capite thoraceque punctatis, elytris costis 2 apice coufluentibus, 

 marginal! denticulata dorsali undulata, interstitiis rugosissimis plicis iusequa- 

 libus. From the south of Persia, Ispahan. A. de vecchii, Osc. (ibid. No. 7) : 

 Parva iiigra ovalis capite thoracequc punctulatis, elytris subdcpressis costis 

 2 grauulosis obsoletis fere apice coufluentibus iuterstitiis foveolatis, foveis 

 latis triplici serie dispositis, unica serie inter costas, duplici suturam versus. 

 From Armenia. Also A. faremontii, biskreensis, douei, solieri, Lucas (Ilev. 

 Zool. 264), from the district of Biskra, in Algiers.^, lant/ii, Guerin (sec

 (TmcJiyderma, Latr.) lepidacantha, granulata, Trigonoscelis echinata, Lasiostola 

 heterogena, Diesia karelini. The genus Platyope up to this time contains

 leuca, Fisch. (ibid.). 3. leucograplia, Pall. (Tenebrio). 4. lineatu, F. (Aids). 

 5. ublilerata, Fisch., new species, from the salt lake of Inderskoe. 6. 

 itiucolor, Esch. Zoubk. (== lan-dinii, Kryn.) 7. collaris, Fisch., new 

 species, from Songary, which differs from all the rest by a deep groove on 

 the corslet. 



Waterhouse (Ann. Nat. Hist, xiii, 41) has made an important contri- 

 bution to our knowledge of the group Nydelites, in a revision of the species 

 in the collection of the late Baron Dejean. 1. N. luczotii, Buq., a Gyrio- 

 ity, identical with G. curvilineahts, Guer. 2, 3. N. erytln-opus and cbenina
