published by M. Gory, viz. Crem. Maculatus and 

 Brahma, both from the East Indies. Mr. Kirby 

 published in 1826 his remarks on the C. Castanese 

 of Knoch, and added a new species named Vario- 

 losus. In 1828 were added also in the Zoological 

 Journal, two more species, viz. Crem. canaliculatus 

 and Harrisii, all four belonging exclusively to 

 North America ; it is probable that eventually in 

 South America there will yet be discovered a sub- 

 genus allied to Cremastocheilus ; at present, how- 

 ever, there appear but three sub-generic forms 

 known, which may be regarded as representing the 

 genus in the diiFerent parts of the globe, viz. Crem. 

 Castanese of North America, Genuchus cruentus 

 of Africa, and Crem. maculatus of the East Indies. 

 To the future investigator of these most interesting 

 insects I leave the nomination of the sub-scenera.

 insect which Olivier has denominated Mel. Commer- 

 sonii.
