raous with Stcn. obscurus of Donovan, but not with Sten. obscums of 

 Fabricius, ' Syst. Ekui.' ii. 307 ; 4, semipunciatus of Fabricius, Oli- 

 vier, and Donovan, but not of Boisduval ; 5, rubripes of Boisduval, 

 ' Faune de I'Oceanie,' i. 477 ; 6, dorsnlis of MacLeay, ' Appendix to 

 King's Voyage,' ii. 451 : and 7, higiittata of Donovan, which Mr. 

 Hope, in the ' Transactions of the Zoological Society of London,' i. 

 107, gives as the type of Latreille's genus Tmesistenius, and which 

 Dejean and Castelnau place under Serville's genus Mallocera. The 

 last species differs in many respects from Phoracantha, Tmesisternus, 

 and Mallocera, and is particularly to be distinguished by its slender 

 and graceful form, its suddenly incrassated femora, and the gaiety ot 

 its coloiu's. In this genus-making age it will doubtless be raised to 

 generic honours ; in which case it may be called Callirhde.
