littlo Notioxenus, its strongly and closely punctured prothorax (the 

 6ub-basal line of which is raised, instead of impressed, and not much 

 curved), added to the convex interstices, decply-crenatc strioe, and 

 the numerous small and bright rufo-testaceous patches of its elytra, 

 will at once abundantly distinguish it. Like the last species, a single 

 specimen only was captured by Mr. Bewicke.

12. Longitarsus Helena 7 , n. sp. 



Z. oblongo-ovatus, subnitidus, obscure viridescenti-seneus, alutaceus ; 

 prothorace parce et leviter punctata, ante medium latiusculo, postice 

 paulo angustiore, angidis posticis obtusis; elytris sat profunde punc- 

 tatis ; antennifl pedibusque longissimis, rufo-testaceis, illis versus apicem 

 femoribusque posticis paulo obscurioribus. 



Mas, tarsis anterioribus articulo basilari valde elongato dilatato [secundo 

 latiore].

The greenish-brassy alutaceous surface and pale elongate limbs 

 of this little Longitarsus, in conjunction with the broad, largely- 

 developed basal joint of its four anterior male feet, will sufficiently 

 characterize it. A single specimen only was taken by Mr. Bewicke. 

 It is quite distinct from any species with which I am acquainted ; 

 and Mr. "Waterhouse, who has been working lately at the Haiti cidas, 

 assures me that he knows nothing at all like it.

Cydonia lunata, Muls., Col. Trim. SCcurip. 431 (1851). 

 An insect of a very wide geographical range, — being recorded from 

 Senegal, the Cape of Good Hope, Caffraria, Madagascar, the islands 

 of Bourbon and Mauritius, the East Indies, and Java. It is a most 

 variable species ; and whatever doubt may be entertained as to the 

 claim for separation of some of the extreme states which have been 

 ascribed to it, there can at least be no question about the St. Helena
