38 Major Parry’s Catalogue 
uncommon species, has very properly been removed by Mr. Thom- 
son tothe genus Cladognathus, to which, from its general structure, 
it has evidently a much nearer affinity, and, as regards the other 
species, L. Spencii, the typical example of which is now before 
me, there appears to be but little doubt as to its being the var. 
max, of L. bulbosus, its chief characteristic consisting in a greater 
development of the mandibles and head, the former being con- 
siderably longer than the latter, arcuate, forked at the tip, and 
exhibiting in a slight degree only at their base the peculiar bulbose 
structure of the minor form, but still sufficiently apparent to trace 
the affinity. 
Individuals of the var. max., or those presenting an extreme 
development of the mandibles, are but of rare occurrence among 
their respective species; and as regards C. bulbosus, of which 
numerous specimens have fallen under my notice, the present 
case is the only one I have met with. The name of one of our 
most celebrated Entomologists has been maintained, not only in 
right of priority of publication, but also in deference to his 
memory.
