136 REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIII. 



(probably identical with buprestoidcs, Rossi, or alticollis, Rond., and thus 

 g. Arhipis, Dej.,) and further, melasimts, Lat., and Eucn. sencgalensis, Lap,; 

 a new species, H. subacutus, from Mexico, and H. Lanieri, Guer., from Cuba. 

 Nearly allied to this genus is Sileims ? javanicus, Lap., which is distinguished 

 by the antennae iucrassated enlarging towards the tip, and the want of the 

 lobe to the penultimate joint of the tarsi ; whence it would appear to be 

 identical with the genus to which Laporte had already given the name 

 Eudorus. Nematodes is limited by the author to El. filum, but I do not 

 clearly see how Emathion, Lap., differs from it, to which Laporte had er- 

 roneously ascribed grooves for the antennae, and in which E. ci/lindncum, 

 Lap., E. Mannerheimii, Chcvr. (Galba mexicana, Lap. !) Galba Leprieuri, 

 Lap. ! and two new species, K cuneatum, Chevr., from Bahia, and K 

 Baquetii, from Columbia, are included. Since the new genus Calyptocerm 

 has free antennae, the name appears to have been given on the principle of 

 " lucus a nou lucendo." It is otherwise distinguished by the large cucul- 

 late prothorax with the posterior margin deeply notched on each side, the 

 somewhat pisiform antenna?, the joints of which are closely approximated, 

 the spoon-shaped last joint of the palpi, and the bilobed penultimate tarsal 

 joint. A new species, C. Lebouclierii, from Cayenne. Under Fornax, the 

 author adduces twelve species: F. grandis, from Brazil (Eucn. sericatus, 

 Mannh.) ; madagascariensis, from Madagascar; ofov^/c.s, Chevr., from Mexico; 

 Petitii, ib. ; ruficollis, Lap., from Cayenne ; sanguineo-signatus, from Co- 

 lumbia; opifex, Dej., from Cayenne; Chevrolatii, habitat unknown, (from 

 Brazil) ; lastly, (Dirhagiis) testaceus, I us id its, timid us, longulus, Dej. The 

 last species, at least, differs from the others, in this respect, that the male 

 has pectinate antenna?, and should, in consequence, be placed not even in 

 this division (vicl. sup?). Eucnemis comprises 5 species : E. Wica/rdi (Galba 

 id. Lap.), orientalis (Galba id. Lap.), ccipiicimis, Ahr. ; and two new species, 

 E. fulvicornis and foveolatits, from Cayenne. Gastraidacm, Guer., and 

 which, by right, should retain Latreille's name Galba, receives an addition 

 of two new species : G. a trains, from Mexico, and G. Leprieuri, from Cay- 

 enne. Galbodema is limited to G. flabellicornis and Mannerheimii, Lap. 

 Galba (Esch. Guer.) differs from Pterotarsus, in having three membranous 

 lobes to the tarsus instead of four, and in the grooves for the ant. situated 

 in Galba, at the lateral margin of the prothorax, and in Pterotarsus on the 

 prosteruum. Galba includes, G. inamorata, Guer., murina, Dej., and two 

 new species, G.Jlavicornis, from North America, and bombycina from Co- 

 lumbia; in the former of which the tarsi are received into the tibia?, on 

 which account the author proposes for it a new genus, Dendrocharis. 

 Lastly, Pterotarsus includes, Mel. tubemdata, Dalrn., histrio, Guer., (with 

 the varieties, testaceus, and brasilicnsis, Lap.), bimaculatm, Lap., Saund., 

 ruyosys, Blanch., and l-Falkeneerii, new species from Brazil.
