In this portion of his communication in the April number of the 

 Annals, Mr. Waterhouse describes ten new species of Feronia, be- 

 sides noticing several others characterized by previous writers. 



1. Feronia Corinthia, Dejean, ' Spe. Coleop.' iii. 304. This is the 

 Molops Corinthia of Germar, and the Carabus striatulus of Fabricius. 

 Several specimens were taken at Maldonado, and two at Monte Video. 



2. Feronia chalcea, Dejean, iii. 308. Four specimens taken at Mal- 

 donado. 



3. Feronia cordicollis, Dejean, iii. 306. Seven specimens taken at 

 Monte Video. 



4. Feronia Dejeanii. Black and shining : the prothorax cordate, 

 less convex and less suddenly contracted behind than in Feronia Co- 

 rinthia ; it is impressed posteriorly with two large shallow foveae : the 

 elytra are rather long, nearly parallel, very distinctly striated, and have 

 the interspaces semewhat convex. This species is fm-nished with 

 wings : it is 1^ lines in length and 2 in breadth. Mr. Darwin found 

 a single specimen at Monte Video. (Annals, vii. 121). 



5. Feronia suhmetallica. Black, with a nigro-seneous tint on its 

 upper surface : the prothorax is rounded at the sides, and slightly at- 

 tenuated posteriorly, being scarcely cordate ; the posterior foveae are 

 in the form of longitudinal grooves, which are rather short, deep, and 

 minutely punctured : the elytra are rather widest in the middle, the 

 strige moderately deep and without punctures, the interspaces being 

 slightly convex. This species is furnished with wings, it is 6j lines in 

 length and 2^ in breadth. Mr. Darwin brought one specimen ii-om 

 Maldonado and a second from Monte Video. (Id. 122.) 



6. Feronia assimilis, Dejean, Supp. v. 773. One specimen at 

 Monte Video. 



7. Feronia Bonellii. Black : the prothorax is cordate, narrowed 

 posteriorly, the angles being right angles ; the posterior fovea on each 

 side is a long narrow groove, without punctures : the elytra are dis- 

 tinctly striated, the striae being faintly punctured, especially those 

 nearest the suture and towards the base of the elytra. This species is
