LAMELLICORNS OF OLIVIER. 325 



Holland species lately received from that country with the 

 Banksian specimens. 



Sp. 223. Ageuor\ I merely give the locality of this insect, 

 which was omitted by Olivier. It occurs in South America, 

 in Colombia. 



Sp. 224. Itys. I am unacquainted with this species. I 

 give it as a Copris, with a doubt. 



Sp. 226. JCanthus. Apparently this insect belongs to my 

 genus Temnorhynchus ; if so, the locality will most likely be 

 the Cape of Good Hope, or its vicinity. 



Sp, 228. Diadema. Some Entomologists think, that Mel. 

 Diadema, Oliv. is only the female of Xylonjctes Dcedalus, Fab. 

 As the insect was originally described from the "cabinet de 

 M. Gigot D'Orcy," some information may yet be obtained re- 

 specting it from the Parisian cabinets. 



Sp. 232. Fidius. Olivier gives South America as the 

 locality of this insect: I am inclined to consider it as an East 

 Indian species. If, however, Copris Fidius is the same species 

 as Copris Plutus, Fab. (which seems very doubtful), it will 

 turn out to be an African, and not an Asiatic insect. 



Sp. 234. Peleus. Probably an Onthopliagm. From the 

 description, it seems to be the insect which is known in Paris 

 under the name of Coprohas fornicatus. The latter insect is 

 the Onthophagus Greenii of Mr. Kirby's century. Vide Linnean 

 Transactions, Vol. XII. page 397. 



Sp. 235. Ion. Now an Onitis of Fabricius. Onitis Van- 

 delli, Fab., is the same as Olivier's Sc. Ion. 



Sp. 236. Bias. Probably a Copris; the locality men- 

 tioned by Olivier is the Cape of Good Hope. From the 

 division of the clypeus, and projected anterior angles of the 

 thorax, I should suppose it a Dichotomiiis, and therefore it 

 would inhabit South America. 



Sp. 238. Astyanax. From what country Olivier received 

 the above insect is not mentioned. It approaches in form some 

 of the South American Copridce. Of its real locality I am 

 totally ignorant. 



Sp. 239. Muricatiis. Olivier mentions South America as 

 the native country of this insect. M. Gory, in his excellent 

 Monograph on the species of this genus, has very properly 

 changed the locality to that of the Cape of Good Hope. I am 

 not aware of the genus Sisyphus inhabiting the new world.
