392 New Species of Popillia. — Eulophus Nemati. 



Psoehs and other Caucasian tribes. Late in autumn it de- 

 scends from the mountains, to visit the pastures in valleys ne- 

 ver yet trodden by the foot of any European, except prisoners 

 of war. It is particularly numerous in the district of Zaadan. 

 Lieutenant Lissowski, who studied at Wilna, and possesses a 

 perfect knowledge of the zubr of Lithuania, assured me at 

 Bambori, that the latter animal was not very different from the 

 auerochs of Caucasia." — May, 1838. — Weimar, May 16th,

New species of Popillia. — Since my notes on the genus 

 Popillia were read at the Entomological Society, I have met 

 with a species totally different from any previously described, 

 and I shall feel obliged by your inserting the following no- 

 tice of it in your valuable journal. 



POPILLIA sandyx, Newman. 



Brunneo-picea,nitidissima; clypeus, prothoracis latera, etpodex, purpu- 

 reo-rubri ; podex pilis albis bisignatus ; elytra striata, utrinque prope sutu- 

 ram profunde foveata. Corp. long. .35 unc. lat. .25 unc. 



Colour brown, inclining to pitchy red, very shining ; the 

 clypeus, the sides of the pro-thorax, and the podex, are red, 

 the latter has two small white spots ; the legs are pitchy red. 

 Sculpture : head very thickly punctured ; the pro-thorax is 

 punctured throughout ; the punctures on the sides and ante- 

 riorly are closer together, and also deeper, than those on the 

 disk ; the scutellum is deeply punctured at the base, but is 

 nearly without punctures at the apex ; the elytra are irregu- 

 larly punctate-striate ; on each is a deep fovea near the su- 

 ture, just below the scutellum. 



This species inhabits the island of Sumatra, whence I be- 

 lieve it was brought to this country by the late Sir Thomas 

 Stamford Raffles. There are three specimens in the cabinet 

 of the Zoological Society, of London — Edward Newman. —

At a Meeting of the Entomological Society on the 4th of 

 June, Mr. Westwood exhibited a series of drawings in illus- 

 tration of the natural history of a species of saw-fly, which 

 resides, in the larva state, in galls upon willow trees, (Nema- 

 tns Gallicola, Westw.); and of Balaninus Salicivorus, which 

 \ is also a resident of the same galls : together with the histo- 

 ry of a new species of Eulophus, which is parasitic upon the 

 former insect, of which the following are the specific charac- 

 ters 



EULOPHUS Nemati; Westw.
