350 REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIV. 



by a new name, Spliadasmus, on account of the genus Cyrtoma among 

 the Diptera. 



The new classification of the Cryptorrhynchi is carried on in this part to 

 the end of the division with the groove of the beak complete and closed behind. 

 The new genera are, Cheetetectorus, composed of Gastrocercus lifasciatus and 

 setosus (Sch. iv.) Bothrobatys (Chevr.), with a single new species from New 

 Granada. Aonycluus, one from New Holland, which, like Anoplus, wants the 

 claw-joint. Etiscepes, one new species, West Indian. Poropterns, New 

 Holland Insects, viz. Cryptorrh. antiques and succisus, Er., and Acalles 

 conifer. Lembodes, a new species, from Guadeloupe. 



The Report for next year will embrace the conclusion of this grand work. 



A couple of new genera have been established by Kollar and Redt. 

 (Hug. Kaschm. 538, pi. 26), Dicranognathw, very like Rhynchites, differing 

 by the perpendicular beak, the structure of the mouth, and the proportions 

 of the feeler-joints. One new species, D. nebulosus. Pacliynotus, one of 

 the Brachyderides, apterous, and without a visible scutel, the corslet elevated, 

 broader almost than the shards ; two species globulicottis and angmtatus. 

 The newly described species belonging to established genera are, Blosyrus 

 varieyatus and costatus, CneorJiinus pictus, Jititratus, and obscurus ; Phyl- 

 lobius jucundus, Hypomeces poUinosus, Cleomts Q-guttatus, PtocJius tigrinus, 

 Omias crinitm, Lixus %-guttatits (which, from the figure, I take to be an 

 Alcides), and L.fasdatus, all from Cashmere. 



Schilling has given a methodical compendium of the Curculionidse with 

 elbowed feelers, collected in Silesia and the county of Glatz. (Arbeit, u. 

 Verimd. Sclilcs. Gesellsch. vaterl. Cult. 1841, i, p. 73.) 



Walton has published very valuable critical remarks on the British species 

 of RJii/nchites, BrucJius, and Apion. (Annals Nat. Hist, xiii, 81, 216, 444 ; 

 a translation in the Entom. Zeitg.) 



Blauchard (Ann. Soc. Ent. Er. ii, p. 81) has given a list of the species of 

 BrucJius collected in Sicily, amounting to thirty -five, of which seventeen are 

 distinguished as new species by the abridged characters. Aube and Che- 

 vrolat have, however, expressed their opinion that, if due regard were paid 

 to the differences of sex and varieties, the number would be reduced con- 

 siderably. 



The new species of this family dispersed in particular essays are Omias 

 validicornis, Miirkel (Germ. Zeitschr. v, 250, 220), nearly allied to 0. for- 

 ticornis; it was found in the nests ofEormica fuliginosa. Antliononms pi/ri, 

 Chevrolat (Rev. Zool. 135), corresponding to A. nlmi var. y of Schou- 

 lierr, which is found only on pear trees, and differs in several points besides 

 from the original A. ulmi. Cleomis margaritifents, Lucas (Rev. Zool. 267), 

 from the country of Biskra, in Algiers. Naitpacttts bridgesii, Waterhouse 

 (Ann. Nat. Hist, xiii, 54), from Chili. Cratosomusconsitlaris, Guerin (Mag.
