 The insect is in the Museum of Berlin under the MS. name of 

 Dorcus iJachygnathus, 



Macrocrates Bucephalus $ , Burm. (PI. X. fig. 9.)

A description of the $ of the above species has only lately been 

 published by the well-known Entomologist Herr Dohrn of Stettin ; 

 there is a single specimen (the only one, I believe, in this country) 

 in the Hopeian Collection at Oxford, with the name of (nigripes, 

 Dej. Cat.) attached to it. This specimen having belonged to the 

 collection of Mons. Gory, it is reasonable to suppose the synonymy 

 to be correct, more especially as Count Dejean places the species 

 in the genus Psalicerus, a genus closely allied to Macrocrates. 

 Mr. Thomson, in his Catalogue, refers however P. nlgr'tpeSy Dej., 

 to P. morio, Burm.
