Art. XLVIII. — Notice of Entomological Works. 



1. Enlomologisches Archiv. Heransgegeben von Dr. 

 TIteodor Thon. Erster iind Ziveiter Band. Mit Kiipfer- 

 tofeln. Jena, 1827— 1830.— These archives have but Httle 

 original matter : they are principally useful in giving reviews 

 of, and copious extracts from, other entomological works. In 

 one number there is an interesting Monograph of the genus 

 Simulia, with figures. Our limits will not permit us to enter 

 into any details. 



2. E. F. Germar. Fauna Insectorum Eiiropce. Halce 

 sumtibus C. A. RUmmelii. 



S. Deutschlands Insecten heransgegeben von Dr. G. W. F. 

 Panzer — -fortgesetzt von Dr. G. A. W. Herrich Schaeffer, 8fc. 

 — Both these works are continuations of Panzer. The first, 

 which was formerly directed by Ahrens, contains twenty-five 

 plates in each fascicle ; of the second, there are about six 

 numbers published, each containing twenty-four plates, — in the 

 execution of the figures it is inferior to tlie first. 



4. Die Wanzenartigen Insecten. Erster Band. Drittes 

 Heft. ViertesHeft. 1832—1833. 



5. Die Arachnideti. Erster Band. Zweites Heft. Drittes 

 Heft. 1832. Getrell nach der Natitr abgebildet und bes- 

 chrieben von D. Carl. Wilh. Hahn. Mit seeks fein ausge- 

 malten Tafeln. Niirnberg. — The latter numbers of these 

 two useful little works are quite equal to the former in point of 

 execution and interest. In the third number of the Hemiptera 

 are figured : 1. Myrmus miriformis, Coreus miriformis of 

 Fallen. In the same plate is figured an insect which is consi- 

 dered only a variety of the preceding ; it appears to be quite a 

 distinct species, and to be identical with Lygcsus micropterus, 

 Burrell. 2. Two species of Op/d/ialmicus ; the type of the 

 genus is Cimex grylloides of Linnaeus. 3. and 4. Arma 

 and Jalla, two genera separated from Pentatoma; the types 

 of which are Cimex bidens and C. dumosa of Linnaeus. 

 5. Rhynarius, a genus very abundant both in number and 

 species ; we are surprised to see no more figured ; its type is 

 Cimex sylvestris, Linn. 6. Two new genera, Halticus and
