generally been misunderstood; and the species thus named by Linné has 
been called FE. holosericeus, Oliv., whilst the Linnean name has been given 
to a different species, which Linné most probably confounded with KH. pec- 
tinicornis 2, but which Miller describes in his ‘ Fauna Fredrichsdalina’ 
under the name of FE. sjelandicus. Prof. Schiédte has now restored the 
original names to the proper species, and corrected the error which seems 
to be founded on a mere mistake of Olivier’s. 
1 The species are thus classified :—A. Indistinct antennal grooves near 
the margins of the prothorax; antennz serrated from the fourth joint; 
the anterior corners of the pronotum prominent, pointed, somewhat flat- 
tened, the posterior corners short, obtuse, with obsolete ridge. The pos- 
terior margin of epimera prothoracica slightly arched and undulated; pro- 
sternal spine short, thick ; claw-joint of third pair of tarsi longer than their 
first jomt (E. tessellatus). B. No antennal grooves; a. antenne serrated 
from the fourth joint; * hind corners of pronotum without ridge; anterior 
corners of pronotum deflected, the postericr margin of pronotum obtusely 
bidentate; prosterual spine short, thick; legs slender; claw-joint of hind 
tarsi a little longer than the first jomt (H. bipustulatus) ; ** hind corners 
of pronotum with sharp ridge; 7 posterior margin of epimera prothoracica 
bidentate, the inner tooth pointed; anterior corners of pronotum more or 
Jess deflected ; prosternal spine long, thin, pointed; legs slender; claw- 
joint of third pair of tarsi longer than the basal joint (2. cinctus, E. quer- 
cus); }f posterior margin of epimera prothoracica angulate or obtusely 
bidentate ; anterior corners of pronotum pointed, produced ; prosternal 
spine long, gradually acuminated, with a more or less prominent knob 
before the pomt; legs powerful; claw-joint of hind tarsi club-shaped, 
longer than basal jomt; claws long and powerful ; § posterior margin of 
epimera prothoracica angulate; antennz with small, lightly impressed, 
poriferous spots (E. eneus); §§ posterior margin of epimera prothoracica 
obtusely bidentate ; antennze without poriferous spots (E. cruciatus, E.im- 
pressus, E. metallicus). b. antennz serrated from the third joint ; anterior 
corners of pronotum produced, pointed; scutellum cordate; legs power- 
ful; claw-joint of third pair of tarsi club-shaped, longer than basal joint ; 
claws long. powerful ; * posterior margin of epimera prothoracica arched, 
slightly undulated; prosternal spine long; posterior corners of pronotum 
ridged (H. sjelandicus, E. pectinicornis); ** posterior margin of epimera 
prothoracica obtusely bidentate ; prosternal spe short; hind corners of 
pronotum without ridge (E. castaneus).
