Mr. Masters has sent me a single specimen of this new 
form, apparently a male. So far as I have been able to ex- 
amine it without dissection it appears to me to belong to the 
Ciminz, a subfamily whose genera are mostly highly : special- 
ized. I can say nothing of its affinities, except that its eyes 
are like those of Ciopera, and that in habit it resembles Neo- 
corus tbidionotdes. Its anterior cotyloid cavities appear to be 
open behind; but of this lam not quite sure: a remarkable 
peculiarity 1 is the erect spine on each side of the prothorax at 
the base, (owing to its direction) not noticeable in the figure.

The genus Tryphocharia was not adopted by Lacordaire, 
who, as ‘he afterwards wrote me, was completely mistaken in 
his identification of the species on which it was founded *, 
* In another case I noticed that in his collection at Liége the genus 
Allotisis was represented by a small specimen of Phor acantha Sento ; ‘there 
were two or three other Longicorns (and there might have been. more) 
which were also wrongly named.
