perfect, that it is impossible to recognize the species without a refer- 

 ence to the original specimen. 



Crioceris SalUl, ante, p. 195. This species possesses a distinct 

 prosternura, and therefore ought to be placed in the 1st section of 

 the genus. 



XXIV. — Entomological Notes. By Francis P. Pascoe, F.L.S. 



1. Hating recently seen a specimen of Meryx ruf/osa, Latr., in 

 Melly's collection at Geneva, I at once identified it with my genus 

 Rhyssopera {ante, p. 98), probably R. iUota. The habitat given by 

 Latreille, "in India orientali," is doubtless a mistake. In my 

 description, the tarsi, by a lapsus calami, are described as five-jointed ; 

 they are, however, only four -join ted, as may be seen by the naked 

 eye, and the genus must therefore be ' technically ' referred to the 

 Colydiidae. 



2. Gloeania ulomoides (ante, p. 100) is an Aulonium belonging to a 

 section of that genus, the species of which are found from Brazil to 

 Mexico, and represented by Colydium bidentatum* , Fab. The minute 

 basal joint described by me appears to be only the deeply constricted 

 portion of the articulation of the joint. 



3. The genus Altha;sia (ante, p. 117), Mr. Janson suggests, should 

 probably be referred to the Endomychidae. As in any case the genus 

 approaches Mycetoma, which is referred to the Mycetophagidse by Mr. 

 WoUaston, and by M. Jacquelin Duval is made the type of a distinct 

 family in immediate sequence to it, the position I have assigned 

 it may be considered as dependent upon the views which may be 

 ultimately taken of Mycetcea. 



4. Evethis and Anomoesia, referred as synonyms to Frixus, Thorns., 

 by M. Chevrolat, at p. 190 of this Journal, must all give way to 

 Eunidia, Erichs., as I have already stated in the Proe. Ent. Soc. 

 July 1859. 



5. At p. 192 of this Journal, M. Chevrolat gives Cylindrepomus, 

 Pascoe, as a synonym of Gerania, Serv. In the first place, Cylin- 

 drepomus is a genus of Blanehard's ; and secondly, it is altogether 

 very different from Gerania. 



* I have nine species in my collection, to any of wliich the Fabrician descrip- 

 tion is applicable.
