Latheticus oryz^. Plate 15. 

 It is impossible at present to decide whence this species originally 

 came, but its natural food appears to be rice, although it has been 

 found in other grain. It has been received from India and Arabia, 

 and on one occasion was taken in a sweeping net in a corn field in 

 England. 



Apoderus tenlhssimus. Plate 28. 

 In the three males of this species which ha'V'e come under my 

 notice tliere is a slight variation in the length of the neck. 



Plectogaster pectinicornis. Plate 60. 

 I consider this to l)e one of the most interesting species that I 

 have had the opportunity of iiguriiig. I only know of two specimens 

 of the species, both females, in Mr. H. W. Bates' collection. The 

 male is still unknown, and will probably have the antennse still more 

 strongly pectinated. There is in the British Museum an example (also 

 a female), of an allied species from East Africa. 



Epanio PU8I0. Plate 77. 

 The hairs on the posterior femora are much longer than in the 

 figure they are represented to be. 



Lachnia subcincta. Plate 5. 

 Th(! type specimen of this species is in Mr. A. Fry's collection. 

 It is an insect which appears to have been overlooked l)y modern 

 authors, as no mention is mad<^ of it in Lacordaire's ' Genera des 

 Coleopteres,' nor in Gemminger and von Harold's ' Catalogus Coleo- 

 pterorum.' It should be placed next to the genus Tybalmia. 



Cycloprplus cyaneus. Plate 61. 

 This species is iigured from an example in Mr. Janson's collection. 

 Some specimens are entirely blue.
