 thorax. With respect to the localities of the above 

 genera, Anthia and Thermophila belong to Africa, 

 while Pachymorpha seems peculiar to Asia. A 

 new East Indian species will be figured in the 

 plates of the present number. The Anthiadse I 

 am inclined to think have no intimate relationship 

 with the Helluonidse ; they are connected on one 

 hand with Manticora, and with Cicindela on the 

 other, by means of Graphiptera and Emymorpha. 

 A singular species of Cicindela, named Ritchii by 

 Mr. Vigors, so closely resembles some of the Gra- 

 phiptera, that at first sight it might be mistaken 

 for one ; Fabricius indeed seems to have been of 

 opinion that these genera were allied; he names 

 one species Cicindeloides. In their habits also they 

 appear to accord. My fi'iend Monsieur Lefebvre, who 

 collected them in Egypt, writes as follows, **Ces
