Cetoniidce, and the Scarabceid(v, generally are very poorly repre- 

 sented. The Lycidcc are rather numerous. The Tenebrionidce are 

 few. The only really largely represented groups are the Curcu- 

 lionidce, 50 species; the Brenthidce, 9 species ; the Anthribidce, 6 

 species ; the Cerambycidce, 48 species, and the Chrysomelidce, 64 

 species. The first of these have been made the subject of a 

 monograph lately by Mr. F. A. Pascoe, and probably all in the 

 present collection have been noticed or described by him. I have 

 not however in my present paper got further in my investigations 

 than the Heteromera. The Tetramera must form the subject of a 

 future paper.
