Isidh,"^ alone agree with the South American in the 

 number of stripes. Of the Americans, the C. Hes- 

 perus Olh. is the only one with a border to the 

 seventh stripe, and the C. Actcson King of Mexico 

 is the only one that has eight stripes. 



Various kinds of beetles in Chili seek a shelter 

 from the rays of the sun in the dry cow-dung : 

 almost all the Heteromerides with wings grown to- 

 gether, the greater part of the beetles armed with 

 trunkS;, and several Carabides, were found there. 

 The ten kinds of Heteromerides, with distorted 

 wings, found here, belong to five new classes : the 

 other Heteromerides consist of a Helups and a black 

 Li/ita with red thighs. Of beetles furnished with a 

 proboscis, we met with four kinds of Lutroderes, two 

 remarkable Cryptorhinidii, and a few others of the 

 shape of a Rhigus. Lastly are to be noticed, a Lu- 

 canus of the form of the femoratus, a large Stenop- 

 terus, and a large black Psoa. We found very few 

 other species of insects, but several kinds of Pom- 

 pihis, one two inches long, and a curious Castnia, 

 were the most remarkable. 



Of marine animals there remain to be noticed — a 

 small Octopus, di Loligo, two Chiton, Patella, Crepidula, 

 Pileopsis, Fissurello, Cali/ptrcea ; of Concholepas, only 



* This kind was known to Fabricius, for Copris Midas 

 is a variety of the male, and Gigas is the female. The 

 former has erroneously been deemed a native of America.
