guli elytri maculis 2 apiceque luteis. (Corp. long. '6 unc. lat. 

 •125 unc.) 



Inhabits New Holland. This pretty little insect is also common : 

 Mr. Davis has sent it from Adelaide ; Mr. Kirk and Mr. Imeson from 

 Sydney. 



Genus. — Mallocera, Serville. 



The genus Mallocera of Serville, as originally described, contains 

 but a single species, Mai. glauca : the Count de Castelnau has added 

 a second, Mai. elongata, ' Anim. Articules,' 70 livr. p. 424 : the same 

 author also adds to the genus the Stenocorus biguttatus of Donovan. 

 The species described below I believe to be new. 



Mall, sericata. Antennse corpore valde longiores, basim versus 

 quam in caeteris crassiores : prothorax rugosus, dorso tuberibus 

 5 minutis instructus, lateribus dente magno obtuso vix recurvo 

 armatus : color fuscus, lanugine sericata perpulchra gaudens. 

 (Corp. long. "95 unc. lat. '25 unc.) 



Inhabits Brazil, There is a single specimen in the cabinet of the 

 British Museum. 



Genus. — Sph^rion, Serville. 



Serville has proposed the name Sphaerion (in the ^ Ann. Ent. Soc. 

 of France,' iii. 68), for a di\dsion of his genus Elaphidion (Id. iii. QQ), 

 distinguished by the species having the elytra simply terminating 

 without truncature, in a single spine. The type of the genus, Sph. 

 cyajiipennis, is from Rio. There are specimens in the cabinet of the 

 British Museum. 



Genus. — Cordylomera, Serville. 



This genus is closely allied to the foregoing, but the known species 

 inhabit Africa. The type. Cor. nitidipennis (described ' Ann. Ent. 

 Soc' iii. 24), is a very beautiful species ; there are specimens in the 

 cabinet of the British Museum. Cerambyx spinicomis of Fabricius 

 (' Syst. Eleut.' ii. 271), is referable to this genus. 



Genus. — Trichophorus, Serville. 



The species lippus of Germar, admirably described in that author's 

 ' Insectorum Species,' p. 508, No. 677, is the type of Serville's genus 

 Trichophorus, ('Ann. Ent. Soc. of France,' iii. 17). The species obli-
