described species to the above remarkable type — 

 one, viz. Temnorhynchus Isidis Hope, from the 

 Cape of Good Hope, and Tern. Ritchii, collected 

 in the Soudan, and sent to this country by the un-

 the Baron de Jean in his Catalogue adopts the term 

 Coptorhinus ; both names however must be changed, 

 as they are previously used by other writers, for 

 other oenera of Lamellicorn beetles.
