gineis, inaequaliter punctatis, suturd ad basin marginibusque 

 nigro-fuscatis. 



Long. Corp. (mandlb. incl.) unc. 1. 



Hab. N. Hebrides. 



Female with the head rather coarsely punctured, except on 

 the vertex, which is smooth. Mandibles short, punctured, the left 

 with a tooth a little before the apex, the right with one near the 

 base. Prothorax coarsely punctate, especially at the sides and 

 in front ; elytra punctate, having some of the punctures disposed 

 in lines ; the external margin of the front tibiae crenulated, of the 

 intermediate and posterior armed with a single spine. 



This species was found rather abundantly at New Hebrides, by 

 Mr. M'Gilleray, the naturalist to the expedition of H. M. S. 

 Herald. 



The locality of New Holland assigned to it by Mens. Reiche 

 appears to be erroneous.

On my recent visit to Leyden, having an opportunity of con- 

 sulting the specimens described by M. van Vollenhoven in his 

 interesting memoir above referred to, I ascertained that tlie insect 

 described and figured by him, fig. 6, as the $ of Tragulus is in 

 fact the 2 of D. inn-jyurasccns (var. Saiga 1 ); vid. tab. vii. fig. 1. 

 There are several specimens in the collection, and M. van Vol- 

 lenhoven kindly presented me with the one from which the 

 present diagnosis is drawn up. With reference to my description 

 of C. productus $, as having the intermediate tibial unarmed, I 

 find, having subsequently examined numerous fully developed 

 specimens, that this is an error, and upon again referring to the 

 type specimen in Mr. Wallace's cabinet the rudiment of a very 

 minute tubercle, but scarcely visible to the naked eye, is found to
