 This insect was found dead ; it is very imperfect, wanting the an- 

 tennae and some of the legs. It is perfectly distinct from Carenum 

 Spencii described by Mr. John O. Westwood, at page 85 of his peri- 

 odical entitled " Arcana Entomologica."

1 do not recollect having seen any character defined by which the 

 LamiidsB may be readily distinguished from the Cerambycidae. I 

 would suggest the following : in tlie Cerambycidae, as well as the Pri- 

 onidae and Lepturidae, the mesotibiae are externally naked throughout 

 their entire length ; whereas in the Lamiidae the apical portion of the 

 mesotibiae externally is more or less hirsute, sometimes densely clothed 

 with hair. Beneath this hair is a notch, often indicated through the 

 coating by a corresponding notch in its surface : the variations in this 

 part afford excellent characters by which to distinguish minor divisi- 

 ons. In following out a system dependent on the characters usually 

 laid down, no satisfactory result can be obtained. A little attention 

 to the natural distribution of the Lamiidw, will convince the entomo- 

 logist that they are divisible into two principal groups, represented by
