CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LON-

Recently Mr. Ritsema has published (vide ante p. 219) 

 an alphabetical list of the described species of the genus 

 Batocera with indication of the synonyms. These synony-

 of the Thomsonian species , and my own notices on the 

 species described by Major Parry , whilst a few are copied 

 from the Munich Catalogue. Having just now successively 

 visited the Museums of Genoa , Darmstadt and London , 

 as well as the private collection of Mr. Pascoe , I am 

 able to give still some additional synonymical annotations 

 on the types contained in the above mentioned collections.

 Genoa did not afford me observations on the genus Bato- 

 cera itself, but for the knowledge of the group it is inte- 

 resting to know that Apriona Straussi Gestro proved to 

 belong to the genus Rosenhergia Rits. It is closely allied 

 to R. vetusta Rits. but differs in having the underside 

 thickly clothed with long brown hairs , whilst the corres- 

 pondiug part in vetusta is covered with a short whitish
