52 Major Parry’s Catalogue 
Allied to G. squalidus, Hope, but readily distinguished from 
that species by its more elongate and convex form, its broader 
prothorax, with the anterior angles more produced, and by the 
strongly marked costate sculpture of its elytra. Its true habitat 
is uncertain, but I believe it to be from the Indian Archipelago. 
GNAPHALORYX SCULPTIPENNIS @, Parry.

transverso, prothorace paulo angustiori, angulis posticis 
acutis ; mandibulis capite paulo brevioribus, inermibus, apice

From the short unarmed mandibles, the above species may 
possibly represent only a var. minor; in more fully developed 
individuals, the mandibles, as in all the species of this genus, 
will probably be found to be denticulated ; in all other characters 
it evidently belongs to this genus. I am indebted to Professor 
Dehaan, of Leyden, for its possession. 
Aicus cicatricosus, Wiedemann, Zool. Mag. II. i. 108 (Lucanus). 
From the description of this species there is no doubt (although 
no allusion is made to the sex) of its representing a ¢, and there 
is further every reason to suppose that Dr. Burmeister is correct 
in referring it to Ag. acuminatus, Fabricius. Count Dejean, in 
his Catalogue, regards it as a distinct species, and M. Reiche 
takes the same view (vid. Ann. Soc. Ent. Ser. 3, vol. i. p. 82), 
stating both sexes to be in Count Dejean’s Collection, but I am 
not aware upon what ground M. Reiche supposes the ¢ to which 
he alludes to be that of cicatricosus of Wiedemann, considering that 
one sex only is described by that author, and that, as already 
stated, is evidently the @. 
I have now before me the typical specimen of Count Dejean’s 
Collection (belonging to Mr. James Thomson); it is the var. 
minor of Agus chelifer, M‘Leay, from the Malay Peninsula. 
The locality of Java assigned to Count Dejean’s specimen is, I 
I have no doubt, erroneous; I am acquainted with many large
