OBSERVATIONS. 



PSELAPHANAX SETOSUS. Plate I20. 



This species, described by Mr. Walker as one of the Scydnuenidct, 

 is of course Carabideous, and as has already been pointed out. is the same 

 as Sc/ini Westermanni Mots. 



Cychrus coNVExrs. Plate 125. 

 The figure of this species is taken from an example obtained by 

 Mr. George Lewis in Japan. 



Helota cereopunctata & GEMMATA. Plate 133. 



As the sexes of these species differ in the form of the apex of the 

 elytra, outlines of this part in the females are represented in figures la, 

 and 2a. 



Tesseratoma HoRxniAxi. Plate 135. 



I have in figures ib and la represented the larva and pupa of this 

 species on the authority of Mr. Distant, who received them at the same 

 time with the imago. 



Priocnemis Pascoei. Plate 137. 



This insect, as will be seen by a reference to the figure, is an 

 Ichneumon. The specimen from which it was described being in a 

 somewhat bad condition, it was, by an oversight, included by Mr. Kirby 

 among the new Priocnemides with which it was received. 

 NoviTAs NiGRANs. Plate 138. 



This species is figured from the unique specimen in Captain Broun's 

 collection. It was most kindly sent for that purpose (with a large number 

 of others) by that gentleman. 



Macroglossum Cynniris. Plate 140. 



This is figured from a specimen in the Dublin Museum determined 

 by Mr. W. F. Kirby.
