though they be not branched on both sides; yet pressed together 
they do more sharply prick ones finger than the female doth.” 
In the Berlin Museum, I lately saw a most interesting variety 
of this species, the right mandible and the right fore tibia being 
those of a 2, the remainder of the insect exhibiting the usual 
appearance of the g; such an interesting specimen of a herma- 
phrodite insect is seldom to be met with. In the same rich col- 
lection I also saw the type specimen of Lucanus armiger, Herbst, 
tab. 34, fig, 1 (var. cervus), the mandibles of which show a very 
singular case of malformation. 
With regard to the various modifications of form exhibited by 
L.cervus and other allied species of Europe and Asia Minor, see Dr. 
Kraatz’s paper, with figures, in the Berlin Entom. Zeitsch. 1860. 
Lucanvus taticornis ¢, H. Deyrolle, MS. 
A description of this new species from Asia Minor will be 
published during the ensuing year by M. Henri Deyrolle in the 
Ann. Soc. Ent. de France; it is allied to Z. orientalis of Kraatz, 
differing, however, in having the 6-jointed clava of the antennze 
strongly developed, and the mandibles considerably more slender. 
Lucanus Horr ¢, Parry (¢ ignota). (Pl. VI. fig. 2.) 
L. nigro-brunneus, politus ; mandibulis elongatis, intus quinque- 
dentatis ; capite supra singulariter coronato, lobato; femo- 
ribus subtus strid longa latiuscula fulvo-notatis, in pedibus 
anticis fere obsoleta; tibiis anticis et intermediis irregu- 
lariter 4 aut 5 denticulatis, posticis 3-dentatis,

Head wider than the thorax, both of a brownish-black colour. 
Clypeus of a long triangular form, placed nearly perpendicularly, 
Fore margin of the crown of the head with a singular elevated pro- 
cess, forming two great lobes, separated by an arcuate line. The 
mandibles are strong and bent somewhat downwards, armed in- 
teriorily with five teeth, the one near the tip forming with it a 
fork ; the largest, near the base, blunt and nodose at the tip; the 
three others equidistant between the centre and apex. Prothorax 
longitudinally impressed down the centre; the punctuation of the 
head and prothorax not very strong. The elytra smooth and 
polished. The antennz of this fine species are unfortunately 
wanting, but I have little doubt of the insect being a true Lucanus. 
I have named it in memory of a gentleman whose services ren- 
dered to Entomology stand preeminent.
