 two most important are the closed intermediate cotyloid 

 cavities, and the spinous antennae.*

Mr. Newman can scarcely be held to have characterized 

 this genus, " its slender and graceful form, its suddenly 

 incrassated femora, and the gaiety of its colours," being 

 all that he has said of it ; and such a flippant manner has 

 indisposed Entomologists to adopt the name which he has 

 " suggested." Mr. Newman, however, Avrote in times 

 when such a loose method was more tolerated than it 

 would be now, and as Mr. Hope's definition was not 

 much more to the purpose, I think, on the ground of 

 priority, we should adopt Mr. Newman's name. It must 

 be recollected that there can be no doubt about the 

 species intended, as Stenocorus higuttatus is given as the 

 type, and of this Donovan gives a very good figure. 



* M. Lacordaire, in a note (viii. 307), says that the genus Atesta, has 

 the elytra " manifestly truncate " at the apex, not rounded as I have 

 stated ; and that Coptocercus unifasciatus, Hope, forming one of the 

 species of my genus AUotisis has the joints of the antenna', from the third 

 to the ninth, accordmg to Hope's figures, furnished with short spines, 

 not tlie third and fourth only. I can only maintain and repeat here what 

 I have stated in proposing those genera.
