Macrocrates Bucernatus ¢, Burm. (PI. X. fig: 9.) 
@ Dohrn, Ent. Zeit. 1862, p. 135. 
A description of the 2 of the above species has only lately been 
published by the well-known Entomologist Herr Dohrn of Stettin; 
there is a single specimen (the only one, I believe, in this country) 
in the Hopeian Collection at Oxford, with the name of (nigripes, 
Dej. Cat.) attached to it. This specimen having belonged to the 
collection of Mons. Gory, it is reasonable to suppose the synonymy 
to be correct, more especially as Count Dejean places the species 
in the genus Psalicerus, a genus closely allied to Macrocrates. 
Mr. Thomson, in his Catalogue, refers however P. nigripes, Dej., 
to P. morio, Burm.
