In the description of the var. mmor of this insect, loc. 

 cit., hesitation was expressed, as to its being properly placed 

 in the genus JEgiis ; subsequently, in the second edition of 

 my Catalogue, it was temporarily located in the allied 

 genus Gnaphaloryx ; but having recently obtained a spe- 

 cimen of the var. max. and also the female, I am noAv 

 disposed to make it the type of a new genus : such marked 

 characters appearing to be met with in both sexes, differing 

 so essentially from the members of the genus y^^gus and 

 Gnaphaloryx, the reflexed anterior margin of the head is 

 alone peculiar to this insect. In the family of the Dorcidm, 

 indeed, this character has hitherto been confined to certain 

 species (exhibiting as in the present instance the var. max.) 

 belonging to the genera Lucanus and Odontolahis.
