 Gyllenhal, C. H. Boheinan, et Entomologis aliis illustratce. 

 Tomus 1"'. Pars l""". et 2"". Parisiis, 1833. —Most ento- 

 mologists must be acquainted with Schoenherr's Classification 

 of the Curculionidae, published some years back. We observe 

 very few alterations in the systematic arrangement of this new 

 edition ; however, the number of species is considerably 

 increased, and many subgenera are raised to the rank of 

 genera. About three hundred genera, besides subgenera, 

 which he terms Greges, are classified ; and the species ranged 

 under these genera amount to upwards of three thousand. 

 They are divided into two great groups ; the Orthoceri, with 

 straight antennae ; and the Gonatoceri, with bent antennae. 

 The characters of some of the species extend nearly over a 

 page, and are too long. , 



7. Annales de la Societe Entomologique de France. Tome 

 II., Triniestre III., Paris, 1833. — This number contains 

 several valuable papers : among others, — 1. " On the Mouth 

 of LibellulidfB, by M. Aug. Brulle." The author remarks, 

 that, in predacious insects, the palpi attain their greatest deve- 

 lopment ; and he considers them to be organs of prehension.
