aO STAG-CHAFFER. 



convexus brunmus, maxillls brevibus : dente laterali 

 elevato. 



The exotic species of this genus are mostly na- 

 tives of America, and one in particular, frequently 

 found in Virginia, is so nearly allied to the English 

 Stag-Beetle as hardly to differ, except in having 

 fewer denticulations or divisions on the jaws. 



A highly elegant species has lately been dis- 

 covered in New Holland. This differs from the 

 rest in being entirely of a beautiful golden green 

 colour, with short, sharp-pointed, denticulated 

 jaws of a brilliant copper-colour. The whole 

 length of the Insect is rather more than an inch.
