Page 65, M. De Haan (in litt.) considers that Opsomala gladiator belongs to the sub- 
genus Pyrgomorpha of Serville. Its whole habit, however, is that of the 
former genus. 
Page 66, De Haan (in litt.) considers Bactrophora to be nearest allied to Pecilocerus and 
Phymateus. 
Page 100, Mastax apicalis and vitrea are considered by M. De Haan (in litt.) to be 
varieties of one species which he has described in the Bijdragen, under the 
name of M. Agrionoides, Pl. 22, fig. 2. 
Page 127, M. Schaum (Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1844, p. 390), asserts that the female of 
Schizorhina Guerinii, is the Cetonia collata of Gory and Perch (in Silberm. 
3, 125), and that the fore tibize of the males are tridentate ; “ la supérieure est 
plus faible.”” I cannot, however, think that M. Guérin’s specimen was thus 
constructed. He proposes to form it into a new genus named Heterosoma. 
Page 161, ‘* Toxodera denticulata, Serv., was never received here from Java or any Dutch 
colonies; probably there has been a mistake at the Museum of Paris; it seems 
much rather an African insect. The horn on the head in the Mantide seems 
a character of inferior value; Diana, Stoll ( Pictipennis, Serv.), with a horn, 
has the same form of thorax and abdomen, the same colour of wingsas M.urbana, 
Fabr., and M. tricolor, Linn., without the horn. It is the same case, with the 
pointed eyes, as Burmeister expressed it in Germar’s Zeitschrift (2, 29). 
M. rubicunda, Stoll, 25, f. 96, with pointed eyes, belongs to the neighbourhood 
of M. precaria. Blepharis and Schizocephala, with pointed eyes, are very 
nearly allied to Phyllocrania and Thespis with rounded eyes. Tavachodes 
coronata, Klug, and M. Oxypilus lobiceps, Bijdrag. (Pl. 17, fig. 4, 5), have 
both two little spines before the eyes; for the rest, however, they are very distant 
(vid. Bijd. p. 62). Orthodera has sub-conical eyes (vid. Burm, ii. p, 529).’’

VOLUME Il. 
Page 49, M. De Haan considers Diapherodes serricollis * to be identical with D. gibbosa 
of Burmeister, and D. pumilio (p. 50), to be a young insect, [sed quere ] 
Page 51, M. De Haan assures me that the horn on the head of M. (Blepharis) Kuhlii, is 
horny as in Bl. mendica, and not foliated as in Phyllocrania. 
The same gentleman questions whether M. metallica (pl. 62, f. 3), is not a varicty 
of Metallyticus splendidus—(of which M, vitripennis, Burm., is the male) ; 
but the two insects are not even congenerous, as may be seen at once in the 
form of the prothorax, size of the fore feet, and eyes, colour of the hind 
wings, &c. 
Page 53, M. De Haan considers Proscopia occidentalis much nearer to Pyrgomorpha 
than to Proscopia. 
Page 54, The sub-genus Cephalocema is synonymous with Astroma charp. 
Page 56, Prochilus possesses the oval foramen rear the base of the anterior tibia. 
Page 71, M. Schaum (Ann. Soc. Ent. de France, 1844, p. 401, pl. 10, fig. 1), has described 
and figured the female Amaurodes Passerinti, from Port Natal. 
Page 99, M. Schaum (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., 1844, p. 399,) considers Inca Sommeri to be 
only a variety of I. Weberi (Trichius clathratus, Oliv. Journ. d’Hist. Nat. 
pl. 6,f. 2). The same author has also described several new African species of 
Heterorhina in the same Annales.t 
* M. C. Sommer, Esq., of Altona, assures me that he has received this insect direct from 
Para, in Brazil. ; 
tT Not having received the 3rd trimestre of the Annales for 1844, J cannot notice the 
critiques of M. Schaum on my articles on the Goliath Beetles, which he has introduced into 
the former part of his Memoir.
