Curtis' British Entomology. 495 



among these being new. It is founded on a Bostrichidous insect of which 

 only two individuals have yet occurred. Its natural situation appears to 

 be between Cis and Cerylon, from both which genera it differs in the 

 club of the antenncB being formed by a single orbicular and very large 

 joint. Mr. Curtis has applied to it the name of Cicones. The single 

 species is the Cic. Carpini, which in size and appearance resembles the 

 Bolitophagus pictus, Sturm. The species illustrative of the genera Pa- 

 trobus, Stenus, Hiroscus, and Mafachius, are new ; and the characters 

 which distinguish the genus Rugilus of Dr. Leach are now for the first 

 time published. Cyhister is added to the list of British genera by the 

 discovery of a single specimen of Cyh. Rceselii ; the generic name 

 being necessarily changed from Tragus applied to it by Dr. Leach, which 

 had been previously used to designate a group of IchneumonidcB, Only 

 three Hymenoptera are figured ; one of which is illustrative of a new 

 Cynipsidous genus, Colax, The species is described as new, as are also 

 those which have been selected as specimens of Perilampus and of Cleo~ 

 nymus. The only Neuropterous insect, the Perla cephalotes, is likewise 

 new. 



Of the Haustellata twenty-one genera are contained in the present 

 volume, thirteen of these being Lepidopterous. Among them two are 

 now for the first time proposed. Anacampsis, a Tortricidous group, 

 having for its type the Tinea popukUa, Linn., and illustrated by a new 

 species, Anac. longicornis ; and Glyphipteryx, which is easily dis- 

 tinguished from the other TineidcB by the drooping and outward direction 

 of its palpi, organs which in this family are almost universally either 

 porrected, or recurved over the head. The latter derives its name from 

 the embossed appearance given to the wings by the metallic spots which 

 adorn them. Its type is the Phalcena Linneella, Clerck, which is fi- 

 gured in illustration of it. The species illustrative of Cerwra, Leucania, 

 Eudorea, [Scoparia, Haw.,) and Pterophorus, are new to science. Of 

 the Hemipterous genera, Dictyonota, a group of Cimicidce, is cha- 

 racterized as distinct from Tingis, on account of the third joint of the 

 antenntE being the thickest, and these organs being consequently by no 

 means clavate. JVeides {Berytus, Fab.) is illustrated by a new species, 

 jVcz'rf. elegans. Of the Dipterous insects figured one only, the Cecido- 

 jnyia verna, is novel.
