00 Major F. J. Sidney Parry on 



publications, but Mr. Thomson in his " Catalogue des 

 Lucanides," stating the name to have been already 

 preoccupied by Sternberg for a genus of AracJimda, 

 substituted Mcgaloprcpes for CydopldhaJvms ; upon the 

 same principle I was forced (Tr. Ent. Soc. 3rd series, 

 i. 9) again to alter the name, and proposed CydomriLa- 

 his. Gemminger and Von Harold appear once more 

 to have decided in favour of Mr, Hope's name, perhaps 

 through an oversight. I must again express my 

 opinion, that no great inconvenience can arise from the 

 double employment of a name when it does not occur in 

 the same Order; although such employment should, of 

 course, as far as practicable be avoided.

This is from Sumatra. From the excellent figures of 

 the S and ? accompanying the description of this new 

 species, and looking at the character of the internal 

 armature of the mandibles, the form of the clypeus, to- 

 gether with that of the sides of the prothorax, I am inclined 

 to place it near Eurytraclielus ceraruensis and concoJor ; the 

 fore-tibia3 (in the figure) ai'e clothed internally with a 

 strong golden pubescence, a character which I do not 

 remark in other species of this genus. 



Gemminger and Von Harold appear to have included 

 in Dorcus several distinct genera; and as regards the 

 reference to " Mctopodontus {pars) Hope," 1 cannot, 

 among the forty- three species of Dorcus recorded, detect 

 a single one which belongs to Metopodontus. 



Dorcus Castelnaui, G. & H. Cat. Col. iii. 956. 



Eurytrachelus Castelnaudii, Deyr. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. 

 1865, p. 31, pi. ii. fig. 3. 



This new species from Bengal is in the collection of 

 Count Mniszech. Mens. Henri Deyrolle states it to be 

 allied to a medium development of E. Ixeichd, Hope ; 

 lie further maintains in a note, that Castelnaudii is ortho- 

 graphically correct. The ? is not known.
