Brazil had found their way to the collections of Europe. About the time, however, 

 when this memoir was read, Latreille published the descriptions of a considerable 

 number in Humboldt and Bonpland's great work, and Dr. Klug described many 

 beautiful species in his several papers in the ' Nova Acta.' To complete the trio, Mr. 

 Kirby, in the present paper, described a considerable number of Brazilian species, 

 chiefly Coleoptera. The following new genera were described in this paper, Pelcecium 

 (Carabidae), Anelastes (Cebrionidae), Eurypus, Axina, Priocera (Cleridae), Geniates, 

 Apogonia (Lamellicomia), Psammodes, Oxura, Scotinus, Sphaerotus, Strongylium, 

 Eurynotus, Adelium (Tenebrionidae), Spheniscus, Stenochia (Helopidae), Gnathium 

 (Meloidae), Rhinotia, Eurhinus, Rhinaria (Curculionidae), Lamprosoma (Chryso- 

 melida?), Choragus, raised to the rank of a distinct family, Choragidae, type C. Shep- 

 pardi, taken at Offton in Suffolk, by Mr. Sheppard (strenui saltans) ; one species of 

 Blatta, one of Mantis, one of Fulgora and Gonyleptes, a new genus of Phalangidae. 

 It will be seen that Mr. Kirby here first adopts the uniform termination of ids for his 

 families, which correspond pretty nearly with the Linnasan genera. This paper is il- 

 lustrated by two splendidly coloured plates by Mr. John Curtis, containing representa- 

 tions of thirty-two of the most interesting of the species.

 Thirty-three species of Australian insects, chiefly Coleoptera, are described in this 

 memoir, including eight species of Buprestis, and the following new genera, Bolboceras 

 (allied to Geotrupes), Distichocera (Ceranibycidae), and Achilius (allied to Fulgora). 

 A plate by Mr. John Curtis, contains coloured figures of thirteen of the most beautiful 

 of the species.

These are two small but very curious genera of Homoptera, allied to Fulgora and 

 Delphax ; Otiocerus being remarkable for its long wings and for having the antennae 

 furnished with long tortuous appendages : eight species from Georgia, collected by 

 Abbot, and sent to Francillon ; and Anotia having the terminal joint of the antennae 

 much elongated : one species from Georgia.
