M. Guerin-Meneville in his " Iconographie" (p. 245) points out 

 two or three characters by which this genus is distinguished from 

 Astathes, perhaps quite enough, according to the usual practice, to 

 fix him as the describer of it. As, however, there is no connexion 

 between the two genera, and M. Guerin's remarks were not in- 

 tended to be supplemented by any future description, it does not 

 seem to me desirable that such a style should carry with it the 

 same rights of priority accorded to a real attempt to characterize 

 a new genus, and I have therefore referred to M. J. Thomson, who 

 has given a full account of it, as the true authority for the genus. 

 At the same time it is necessary to remark that his " Entelopes 

 Wallacei, Pascoe," is the common E. glauca, a very distinct spe- 

 cies, but why it is named "glauca" is not evident ; M. Guerin 

 says of it in his description " sans poil ni duvet," but all the 

 species are covered with very delicate short scattered hairs. I am 

 unable to agree with M. Thomson when he describes the anterior 

 coxae as being transverse. Entelopes is a beautiful genus, now 

 consisting of five species, one of which from Peiiang (£. similis) 

 1 have recently described in the Proceedings of the Zoological 

 Society (1866, p. 255).
