  Westwood's 
  Description 
  

  

  the 
  hands 
  and 
  staining 
  them 
  in 
  such 
  a 
  manner 
  that 
  the 
  marks 
  

   remain 
  for 
  many 
  days. 
  

  

  " 
  I 
  have 
  observed 
  a 
  singular 
  point 
  in 
  the 
  habits 
  of 
  the 
  Sisyphus, 
  

   to 
  which 
  Mr. 
  White 
  has 
  done 
  me 
  the 
  honour 
  of 
  affixing 
  my 
  

   name, 
  viz. 
  that 
  both 
  the 
  male 
  and 
  female 
  assist 
  in 
  makinfr 
  the 
  

   balls 
  of 
  dung 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  egg 
  is 
  deposited, 
  having 
  taken 
  many 
  

   specimens 
  during 
  the 
  present 
  spring 
  each 
  with 
  a 
  pellet 
  of 
  dung 
  

   between 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  hind 
  legs, 
  which 
  they 
  are 
  most 
  unwilling 
  

   to 
  relinquish. 
  This 
  was 
  before 
  they 
  commenced 
  rolling 
  the 
  balls 
  

   along 
  to 
  the 
  holes 
  they 
  had 
  previously 
  dug."

  Genus 
  Callirhipis,

  Guerin. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  inhabiting 
  the 
  eastern 
  hemisphere 
  

   differ 
  from 
  those 
  in 
  America 
  in 
  being 
  less 
  elongated, 
  with 
  the 
  head 
  

   longer 
  ; 
  the 
  pronotum 
  subtriangular 
  and 
  widened 
  behind, 
  and 
  with 
  

   the 
  elytra 
  only 
  moderately 
  convex. 
  The 
  species 
  hitherto 
  described 
  

   from
