156 REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIII. 



Sternodonta Palinii, princeps, and amabilis, Hope (Ann. Nat. Hist, xi, p. 

 368), the first from Sierra Leone; both the others from the Ashautee 

 country. 



Lamia obesa, Westwood (Arcan. Ent. pi. 6<1), from South Africa, is a 

 Pliryneta ; and, in fact, identical with Phr. Dregei, Dej. (Catal.) 



Saperda carissima, Westwood (ib.), from Tropical Africa. Sap. (Sphenura) 

 basal is, Erichs. (1. c.), from Angola. 



From New Zealand, Westwood (Arcan. Eut. pi. 56) has figured Lamia 

 puherulenta, new species, and Xyloteles yriseus, Sap. grisea, F. 



LEPTURET^;. A new genus, Heteropalpus, has been founded by Buquet. 

 (Guer. Mag. de Zool. pi. 118.) It approaches nearest to Distenia, but the 

 abdomen is rather shorter, the elytra have no spine at the apex, and the 

 maxillary palpi are curiously constructed, for the second and fourth joints 

 are much elongated, and the latter is furnished at the base with a long, 

 hooked, and hairy process ; H. pretiosus, shining green, with red femora, is 

 from Cayenne. The generic name is a " vox hybrida." 



Another new genus, which might be referred to this group, is Calliprason, 

 White, which the author looks upon as a subgenus of Cattichroma, and stand- 

 ing near Promeces, and Westwood regards as a Stenoderiis, but which appears 

 to me most nearly allied to Rhagiomorpha, Newm. The eyes are roundish, 

 and scarcely emargiuate, the antennae with an elongated clavate first joint, 

 the prothorax with a strong lateral spine, the elytra narrowed posteriorly ; 

 the legs long and slender, the femora clavate. C. Sinclairii, Wliite (Dieffenb. 

 New Zealand, ii, 277. 80), also figured by Westwood (Arcan. Ent. ii, p. 27, 

 pi. 56, fig. 3) as Stenoderus Sinclairii. 



Letzuer (Arb. u. Verand. der Schles. Gesellsch. i. I. 1843, p. 173) has 

 found upon "vine layers" (Gesenke) in Silesia a new Leptura, L. lineata, even 

 more elongated than L. lirrida ; the elytra yellow brown, the suture, the 

 lateral margin, and a central longitudinal baud, black ; length 5'" ; in the 

 antennae the second, third, and fourth joints together, not longer than the 

 fifth. 



Pacliyta serricornis, Gebler (Bull. Acad. Petersb. i, p. 39), is a new species 

 allied to P. varinljilis, from the steppes on the Alakul Lake. 



ClIRYSOMELIN.E. 



'EnpoAsi.MesopAalacrus is a new genus constituted by Sturm (Catal. 

 p. 357, tab. vi, fig. 7), which coincides with Necynodera, Hope. (Col. Man. iii.) 

 M. Spinola;, Sturm, from New Holland, is also identical with 31. pida, 

 Hope. 



Hope (Linn. Trans, xix, p. 112, tab. x, fig. 9) has figured Sagra carlun- 

 culus, a new, small species, from Sylhet. 



Matz (Ent. Zeit. s. 364) has described both sexes of Orsodacne niyricollis, 

 Ol. ; the female is of a uniform light yellow.
