ously figured in Gory and Perclieron's Monograph, tab. 26, fig. 1. 

 Mr. WesLwood's drawing is from a specimen in the cabinet of the Bri- 

 tish Museum. (Id. i. 5, tab. i. fig. 4, ^.) 



The author also gives an outhne of Narycius opalus of Dupont, a 

 species from Madras of which no specimen exists in this country. It 

 has been previously figured in Guerin's 'Magasin de ZooL' pi. 128. 

 (Id. i. 5, tab. i. fig. 5, ^ .) 



The paper concludes with a synoptical table of MacLeay's peculiar 

 views of the arrangement of the Cetoniites, as divulged in Dr. Smith's 

 work on African Zoology. 



The second plate represents four species of the singular Hemipter- 

 ous genus Phyllomorpha. Fig. 1 is Phyllomorpha paradoxal the 

 Cimex paradoxus of Sparmann, an inhabitant of Africa, in the vicinity 

 of Cape Town, and now in the cabinet of the British Museum. (Id. 

 i. 7, tab. ii. fig. 1). 



Figure 2 represents Phyllomorpha Capicola of West wood, the Phyl. 

 paradoxa of Guerin, ' Revue ZooL' 1839, p. 232. It is an inhabitant 

 of the vicinity of Cape Town : there are specimens in the cabinets of 

 Messrs. Hope and Westwood. (Id. i, 8, tab. ii. fig. 2). 



Figure 3 is the Phyllomorpha LatreillU, of Guerin, the Coreus 

 Syromastes phyllomorphus of Latreille, ' Regne Animal,' iii. 438, tab. 

 19, fig. 3. It inhabits Senegal, and there are specimens in Mr. West- 

 wood's cabinet. (Id. i. 8, tab. ii. fig. 3). 



Figure 4 represents Phyllomorpha Persica, Westwood, a species 

 now first described. It is of a pale whitish colour, covered with long 

 spines; the lobes of the body are conical and obtuse ; the third joint 

 of the antennae is almost twice as long as the second ; its length is 5 

 lines. It inhabits Persia, and there is a single specimen in Mr. West- 

 wood's cabinet. (Id. i. 8. tab. ii. fig. 4). 



The author notices but does not describe four other species. 

 In plate III. Mr. Westwood has figured the larva, pupa, and imago 

 of Papilio Hector, from the drawings of General Hardwicke. 



Plate IV. represents two Orthopterous insects, closely allied to 

 TruxaliSj and forming the new genus Systella of Westwood. The 

 head is produced in fi'ont of the eyes, the face is very oblique and not 

 carinated ; the antennae differ in the sexes, those of the male being 

 composed of 15 joints, which from the 5th gradually taper to the 

 apex ; those of the female are 14-jointed, much shorter and stouter in 

 proportion, more especially at the 4th or 5th joint; the fore and mid- 

 dle legs are short, the hind legs longer and formed for leaping ; the 

 fore wings are large and leaf-like, elevated horizontally above the
