lecting of insects in Western Africa has tended to add greatly to 

 our stock of information regarding the entomology of those countries. 

 Respecting the Goliath Beetles, he has in store for us many important 

 observations, having collected them in the bush : his remarks on 

 them may shortly be expected to arrive in this country. 



Tetralobus Australasia. Gory, Ann. de la Soc. Ent. de France. 



Tetralobus Fortnumi. Tetr. totum corpus fuscum, auratd pubes- 



centid tectum, antennisque pedibusferrugineis, elytrisque suturd acu- 



minatis. Caput vix emarginatum punctatum,fronte foved antice im- 



pressd. Antenna fer rug inea. Fasciculus antennarum e lamellis 



novem rubro-ferrugineis. Thorax angulis anticis lateralibus , 



porrectis rotundatis ; posticis acutis, disco varioloso-punctato, lined- 



que longitudinali parum impressd. Scutellum postice rotundatum. 



Elytra striato-punctata, striis punctis fortiter impressis, interne

tomentosum, capillis pectoris longioribus. Pedes ferruginei, tarsis 



subtus pallidioribus et excavatis. Long. corp. 12 lin. ; lat. 3 lin. 



The above insect was lately sent to this country by Mr. Fortnum, 



from the new settlement of Adelaide, and although closely allied to 



T. Australasia of Gory, is yet distinct ; it is the smallest species that 



has fallen under my notice, and has been named in honour of the 



above assiduous collector. 



Tetralobus Parryi. Tetr. niger, capite fere quadrato, antrorsum 

 foveolato, angulis anticis parum rotundatis. Oculis jlavis. Tho- 

 rax latus punctulatus. Elytra thorace triplo longiora, depressa, 

 striata, striis valde distinctis. Corpus infra nigrum, segmentis 

 abdominis utrinque foveolatis , pedibus piceis, antennis ferrugineis . 

 Long. corp. 18 lin. ; lat. 6J lin. 

 Hab. in Nubia. In Musaeo Dom. Parry. 



Captain Frederick Parry lately received this species in a box with 

 other Nubian insects. It is of a remarkably depressed form, approach- 

 ing somewhat in this respect to Tetralobus Goryi, which latter insect, 

 however, is certainly much more convex, and differs from it also in 

 various other minor points. 



Tetralobus Manglesii. Fcem. fusco-picea, antennis articulo 

 primo concolore, reliquis ferrugineis. Caput fere quadratum, punc- 

 tatum, oculis rubris et nitidis. Thorax valde convexus, angulis 

 anticis rotundatis, posticis acutis, lined longitudinali medid, foved 

 utrinque compressd insignitus. Elytra vix acuminata, striato- 

 punctata. Corpus infra rubro-piceum, antennis tarsisque ferru- 

 gineis. Long. corp. 17 lin. ; lat. 4^ lin. 

 Hab. in Nova Hollandia. 



The above insect was sent to me by Capt. Mangles, the Egyptian 

 traveller, in whose honour it is named. He received it from the 

 vicinity of the Swan River. 



Since the above was written, I have discovered the male in the 

 collection of the Linnean Society, and the following is a concise de- 

 scription of it : — 

 Fusco-piceus, articulo primo nigricanti, reliquis ferrugineo flabellatis.
