his niponensis, Voll., which it resembles in general cha- 

 racter, but differs more particularly by the internal 

 armature of the mandibles, consisting of three teeth 

 irregularly placed near their apex; and by the femora 

 being partially of a bright rufous colour. The $ speci- 

 men with which Mons. v. Vollenhoven was kind enough 

 to enrich my collection, represents, I think, a var. max. 

 It is very possible that hereafter both species may prove 

 to belong to the genus Macrodorcas, of Motschulsky; 

 that author described five species in "Etudes Entomolo- 

 gicjues," all from Japan, but at present I am totally 

 unacquainted with any of them. 



Gnaphaloryx miles. 



VoUenh. Tijd. Ent. 1865, p. 155, pi. xi. fig. 5 ( c?). 



I am indebted to M. Snellen van Vollenhoven for a 

 specimen of this remarkable new species, discovered by 

 Mr. Bernstein, and indigenous to Halmaheira and Gebeh ; 

 in an elaborate description of both S and $ , the author 

 alludes to the extraordinary cephalic horn as being 

 peculiar to this species alone among the Lucanoid Coleop- 

 tcra; this, however, is a slight error, as the same cha- 

 racter is exhibited in a species of Ceratognathus from New 

 Holland, described by Professor Wcstwood, under the 

 name of C, tnentifcrus. 



^gus pMlipinncnsis. 

 JEgus ogivus. 

 j^gus gracilis. 

 JEgus amictus. 



Deyr. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1865, pp. 32-35, pi. ii. 

 fig. 4-7. 



These four species have been described and figured by 

 !Mous. H. Deyrollc, and although closely allied to others 

 already well-known, they exhibit according to the author's 

 descriptions various material differences. JEgus philip- 

 pinensis and ogivus are both mentioned as allied to ^. 

 acuminatus, Fabr. ; >^. gracilis to yB. serratus, Parry ; 

 and JE. amii'tim, a small species, to JE. Myrmidon and 

 mlelphus, Thomson.
