86 IMajor F. J. Sidney Parry on 



my former Catalogue (p. 35) as to the probable identity 

 of (tntilopus and the qaadridcns of Hope (Cat. Luc. p. 4), 

 and this view has been confirmed, from having had the 

 opportunity of examining a larger number of specimens 

 of the insect in all its developments. In the pi-csent 

 Catalogue, I unite them as one species. 



Homodcrus Mellyi. 



S (var. min.) Parry, Tr. Ent. Soc. ser. 3, ii. 38. 



S (var. max.) H. Deyrolle, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1864, 

 p. 316, pi. iv. fig. 2. 



Gen. Homodcrus. Clypeus with its anterior angles pro- 

 duced into a more or less acute slightly recurved tooth, 

 broadly emarginate in front; antennse elongate; man- 

 dibles falcate, toothed internally; head (in var. max.) 

 strongly raised in front. 



The characters of the genus Homodcrus originally given 

 were taken from a specimen then unique in my collection, 

 which now proves to be the var. minor. Since that period 

 many specimens have been received, among them a gi- 

 gantic insect representing the var. max. ; it is in Count 

 l^Jniszech's collection, was captured by Dr. Moufflet on 

 the Gaboon, West Africa, and a short notice of it accom- 

 panied by a figure has been given by M. H. Deyrolle. 

 Tlie remarkable head of the var. max. necessitates some 

 modification of the characters at first attributed to this 

 interesting genus, which approximates to Cyclommattis in 

 the structure of the head, as well as in the elongate an- 

 tennre, a ready transition being afforded through Cy- 

 cJommatus Kaiipii from Celebes, a new species recently 

 described by M. H. Deyrolle, fi-ojn Count Mniszech's 

 collection. 



Cyclommatvs faunicolor, Hope . 

 C. Maitlandi, Parry. 



The specimen in the Museum at Amsterdam (since 

 presented to that of Leyden) which was described and 

 figured in my former Catalogue under the name of C. 

 Maitlandi must now, upon the authority of M. Snellen 

 van Vollenhoven and Count Muiszech, be considered as 

 representing only the var. max. of C. faunicolor, Hope :
