NOTE V. 



ON TWO NEW AND SOME ALREADY KNOWN 

 LONGICORNS, BELONGING TO THE BATOCERIDAE.

Batocera Calanus, Parry. 



In the Trans, ent. Soc. IV (1845) p. 86 Mr, Parry gives 

 a very short diagnosis of his Batocera Calanus , a descrip- 

 tion so incomplete that it is impossible to find out which 

 of the Batocera-species with eight elytral spots is meant. — 

 In the Catalogue of Messrs. Gemminger and von Harold 

 B. Calanus is placed as a synonym of B. Roylei Hope. 



As I visited last summer the British Museum , I found 

 there among the Batocera's a species labelled B. Calanus 

 Parry , quite distinct from B. Roylei Hope , but with the 

 aid of Parry's description I could not ascertain whether that 

 determination was correct or not. — Happily Mr. E. W. Jan- 

 son informed me that Mr. A. Fry was the possessor of 

 Parry's Longicorns and as I visited that gentleman he 

 kindly allowed me to take Parry's type specimens with me 

 for comparison. — B. Calanus differs so largely {inter alia 

 by the absence of the spine at the scape of the antennae 

 and the much smaller and otherwise shaped spots on the 

 thorax and elytra) from B. Roylei that it will not be ne- 

 cessary to give an ample description of the differences , the 

 more so because it is so closely allied to an other species,
