IS. Genus Clinocran'wn, Sol. Eyes rather rounded, as in the last, but the 

 forehead descending perpendicularly (as in the Lamise) ; the feet longer, 

 especially the fore pair, of which the first is longer than the last joint. 

 Two species, both new. 1. Cl. spinosmn (Gory) : uigrum oblongum, pro- 

 thorace lateribus antice serrato medio subuncinato, elytris puuctatis granu- 

 latis et dorso spinis paucis, pedibus augustioribus. Long. 13 millim. 2. 

 planatum : nigrum oblougum, prothorace lateribus obtuse aiigulatis ante 

 basin emargiuatis, elytris punctatis dorso tuberculis conicis acutis nunierosis 

 scriatis cost a margiuali serrata retrorsuni spiuosa, antcunis conipressis. 

 Long. 17 millim. Both from South Africa. 



19. Genus Oxiira, Kby. With the head more slender, the corslet longer, 

 almost cylindrical. 1. setosa, Kby. 2. vestita (Dej. ib. 331), new species. 

 Both from the Cape. 



Another new species belonging to the genus Plianerotoma is Moluris ber- 

 tolinii, Guerin (Mag. Zool. Ins. pi. 148), from Mozambique. It is remark- 

 able for its superior size and elongated figure. 



Fischer v. W. (Bull. Mosc. 69) has considered the Blaptid<e of Russia 

 much in detail. Of the genus Slaps in its restricted application forty-eight 

 species are given, many of them new. Those with the corslet padded (pul 

 vinate), and the scutel visible, are separated as the subgenus Peltari-um ; but 

 the group cannot be preserved, since it is made up of species of Slaps propr. 

 (as Bl. cauduta, Gebl.), along with females of Prosodes, Esch. (P. bicostatum, 

 marginatum, pmictatum, Fisch.) So also the proposed new genus Dila, the 

 majority of the species referred to which are males of Prosodes, Esch, (e. g. 

 D. attenuata, Fisch., and Blaps ci/lindrica, Hbst.) Of all the species referred 

 to the genus Dila, as far as I am acquainted with them, the first alone, Blaps 

 Itevicollis, Gebl., may claim to be considered as a distinct type, differing 

 from Blaps by the narrow figure, and more especially by the toothed fore 

 thighs. Nyctipates, Dej., is also admitted as a genus. It agrees with 

 Prosodes in essential characters, and is distinguished by the angidar margin 

 of the shards, and the spiny outer edge of the fore shanks. Consequently 

 Peltarium must merge, Dila be restricted to Bl. hevicollis, and Nyctipates 

 be united with Prosodes (Bl. attenuata, F., cylindrica, Hbst.) 



To the Pedinites, Fischer, v. W. has added Platyscells labialis and 

 Pandarmfemoralis (Bull. Mosc. 122, 141), both from Anatolia; and to the 

 0/K/f rides, Opatritm granulosum, from Songary ; intermedium, from Southern 

 Russia ; and pruinosum, from Turkestan (ibid. 126) ; while Notocorax wester- 

 manm, from Java, has been made known by Maunerheiui (ibid. 862.)
