down its centre, the antenna) are pale rufous, the clava 

 somewhat more obscure, with the leaflets short ; the 

 abdomen is of a pitchy-red, and strongly punctate; the 

 anterior and intermediate tibias are armed with a small 

 acute spine near the centre, and the former are destitute 

 of the internal apical tooth which is conspicuous in C. 

 m'ger, C. ahduDiinalis is one of the smallest species of 

 the Lucanoid Coleojptcra with which I am acquainted. 



Sinodendron americanum, Palisot. 



A specimen of an insect thus named, sent by Professor 

 Agassiz, has been recently added to my collection, through 

 the kindness of my friend Dr. Kaup of Darmstadt. On 

 comparing it with the European species 8. eyiindncum, 

 I have no reason to alter the opinion already expressed 

 (Cat. p. 65) as to the identity of the two insects. Dr. 

 Leconte confirms me in this view, having recently informed 

 me that S. americanum has never fallen under his notice, 

 and that he thinks it must be considered as a very ques- 

 tionable species. 



The following eight species appeared in my Catalogue 

 of 18(34, but were then undescribed. They have since 

 been described as follows : — 



1. Lucanus laticornis, Deyr. Ann. Soc. Eut. Fr. 1804, p. 312.
