ENTOMOLOGY. 355 



In the group of the Galleruca, a new genus has been characterized in the 

 same work (p. 556, pi. 28, f. 2), (Edicerus, with the fifth and sixth joints of 

 the feelers much swollen and peculiarly formed in the male. The genus is 

 nearly allied to Cerophysa, Dej., but it is the sixth and seventh joints that are 

 thickened in the latter. The species (E. cyanipennis, from Cashmere, is new 

 Other new species are, Galleruca fulyida, from the Himalaya, G. intemtpta, 

 Mcolor, Q-maculata, PliyUolrotica lunata,ham Cashmere. (Ibid. 553-556.) Of 

 Adimonia there are the following new species: A. brachyptera, Kiist. (Kaf. 

 Enr. i, 61), from Naples, allied to A. margiuata, and A. villa (Dej.), Kiist. 

 (ib. 64), from the Alps of Lombardy. (A. reticulata, Ziegl., Kiist., has been 

 previously described by Germar and Duftschmidt as Gal. r/tfa.) A. circum- 

 cinda, Mannerheim (Bull. Mosc. 199.) Lastly, A. orientalis, Osculati 

 (Coll. race. p. 72, No. 9) : " Nigra opaca punctis crassis reticulata, elytris 

 costis quatuor obsoletis ad apicem confluentibus : Affiuis A. artemisise et 

 tauaceti, at major, elytris rugosioribus punctis crassioribus, et minus con- 

 vexa." Very common in the valleys of Western Persia. 



CocciKELLiDjE. New species : Cocc. basalis, Epilachna ocellata, and 10- 

 macitlata, Kollar and Redt. (Hiig. Kaschm. 563), from Cashmere; aud 

 Lithopliilus osculati (Marietti), with the specific character as follows : "Ova- 

 tus subdepressus griseo-ferrugineus pubesceus, capite clypeo porrecto, tho- 

 race lato subquadrato marginibus rotundatis, elytris convexiusculis leviter 

 margiuatis margine acuto." Found at Constantinople, under dry moss in 

 the cemetery (Campo de Morti) ; not common. (Osculati, Col. race. 72, 

 No. 4.) 



To this family I would refer provisionally the genus Cholovoceru, Motsch., 

 of which Mark el has made known a second species, Ch. pimdata, from 

 Sicily. (Germ. Zeitschr. v, 247, 255.) 



ENDOHYCHID^E. Motschoulski (Guer. Rev. Zool. 442) observes upon 

 the genus Calyptobium and Holoparamecus 1. that C. villa, Aube ( == Hoi. 

 depressus, Curt.) was previously described by Beck (Beytr. z. Bairisch. Ins. 

 Fna.) under the name Syhanus singularis ; and 2, that, with Curtis, he finds 

 the feelers nine-jointed. Guerin (ibid. 443) confirms the latter remark, and is 

 inclined to separate the species with eleven-jointed feelers, as the genus Calyp- 

 tobium (caularum, kunzei, nigrum, Aube), from Holopammecus, with nine (H. 

 singularis). In this he seems to be too precipitate. The data as to the com- 

 position of the feelers are not yet satisfactory, for I find them eleven-jointed 

 in caularum and nit/rum, ten-jointed in kunzei and singularis, and in other 

 specimens of the last two nine-jointed. The uudescribed species in the Berlin 

 Museum have, some eleven joints, like caularum, some ten, as specimens of 

 singularis. Hence we have provisionally two sections, one with eleven, the 

 other with ten or nine joints in the feelers. In figure these sectio^ diifer 

 in this respect, that the corslet is more pinched in behind in the first. But
