INSECTA. 147 



Several Lucanl, from Sylhct, have been described by Hope (Trans. Linn. 

 Soc. xix, p. 10J-): Hexapfiyllus Parryi, and Odontolabis Oncer a, which are 

 recognizable from their being figured ; the others, Od. Baladeca, Dorcus 

 Westermannl, Deliaanii, Lucanus Brahminus, Buddha, are but scantily de- 

 scribed. Upon what the first two above-named genera, Hexaphyllus and 

 Odontoldbis, are founded is not stated ; the former, according to the figure, 

 has six, and the latter three antenna! plates. Hope has given in the ' Trans. 

 Eut. Soc.' iii, a figure of his Lucanus Burmeisteri, from the Mysore. 



TENEBKIONES. Erodites. A new species of Zophosis, from Angola, has 

 been described by the Reporter (1. c.) 



Tentyrites. A new genus, Gnophota, with three species ; further, 1 new 

 species of Mesostena, and 2 species of Oxycam, from Angola (the last, how- 

 ever, probably from the Cape de Verd Islands), have been already published, 

 id. (Ib.) 



Macropodites. Guerin (Rev. Zool. p. 261) has characterized Adesmia 

 Langii, Erichs. (1. c.), 1 Stenocara, and 2 Metriojms, from Angola, as new 

 species. 



Eurych.ori.tes. From the same locality are also, 1 new species each, of 

 Eitrychora, Pogonobasis, Psaryphis ; the last genus is new, and contains also 

 a second uudescribed species, from the Cape. 



Praocites. Also from Angola, a new, remarkably large species of Cryp- 

 tocliile. 



Molurites. Erorn the same locality one new species of Moluris. 



Blapida?. Mannerheim (Bull. Mosc. p. 266) has enumerated 17 species 

 of Eleodes, from California, seven of which are new ; of these, E. yiyantea, 

 sulcipennis, pimeloides, are also figured in Guerin (Mag. de Zool. 1843, pi. 

 127-129), E. grandicollis (ib. 1844), and E. reflexicollis, producta, wtricata, 

 provisionally described with detailed diagnoses. 



Waterhouse (Ann. Nat. Hist, xii, p. 258) has described three new species 

 of Gyriosoma, viz. G. Bridgesii, marmoratus, elongatiis, all from the neigh- 

 bourhood of Coquimbo. 



The Reporter (1. c.) has instituted two new genera, Drosochrm, with one 

 species from Angola, and two from the Cape ; and Stizopm, nearly allied to 

 Gonopus, Heteroscelis, Latr., and Blenosia, Lap., with a new species from 

 Angola. 



Opatridse. The Fauna of Angola has afforded here also, two new 

 genera, Ammidimn and Emmalus,ca.ch with one new species; further, eight spe- 

 cies of Opatrum, of which some are more widely distributed in Africa, and som 

 have been lately proved to be indigenous to the Cape de Verd Islands, as 0. 

 melanarium, and cequale. Probably also, 0. tenebricosum, patruele, prolixwm, 

 mrgatum, will have to be banished from the Fauna of Angola, as having bee 

 collected in the Island of St. Vincent.
