120 S. H. Scudder — Miocene Insect-Fauna of (Eningen. 



among the Meloidae, and I have seen others, while one of his 

 appears to be identical with his Priomis spectabilis ; all these ai'e 

 mainly represented by elytra only. Among the Chrysomelidae. Heer 

 recognizes a new Galeruca (of which there are seventy specimens 

 in Mr. Lacoe's collection) and a new Chrysomela and Oreinn ; 

 other new species before me seem to be referable mostly to genera 

 already known from (Eningen. Heer names a new Prionns only in 

 the Cerambycidse ; but in Mr. Lacoe's collection are a number of 

 striking new forms which appear to fall in genera allied to 

 Agnpanthia, Desmocerus, TyJonoiiis, and CdUidium. There is little 

 that is new among the Scarabfeidge; but Heer names a new Melolon- 

 thiles, and in Mr. Lacoe's collection is a new Geotriipes and something 

 near Trichins. Ptitiidge have not heretofore been recognized at 

 CEuingen, but I have seen what is probably an Anobiiim. In the 

 Lampyridse, Heer names an additional Lampyris, and Mr. Lacoe's 

 collection contains three species in whole or in part refei'able to 

 Telephorvs. In the Bnprestidas, Heer recognizes Agrilus and names 

 new species of Perotis, Capnodis, and Buprestites, while in Mr. 

 Lacoe's collection are undescribed species of Agrilus, Acviceodera, 

 and Ancylocheirn ? Heer sent Agassiz three species of Elate» and 

 five different species, unnamed, which he referred to Elaterites. 

 Mr. Lacoe possesses numerous examples of two of these species 

 of Elater besides two others, and of other Elaterid^ a new Cardio- 

 pJiorus, two new species of Ampedus ? and two referred with doubt 

 to JEncnemis. Heer names two new species each of Nitidula and 

 Bifiter, and one of Coccinella, while Mr. Lacoe has two other new 

 species of Coccinella and two falling somewhere near RJiizohius. 

 None of the described Staphylinidai are in Mr. Lacoe's collection ; 

 but the four species which it contains appear to fall in, or in the 

 vicinity of, Megarthus, Acidota, Oxyporus, and Staphylinus. In the 

 Hydrophilidse, Heer names a new Hyd robin s ; and a new species of 

 Hydrophilus allied to //. spectabilis, Heer, but slenderer and smaller, 

 occurs in Mr. Lacoe's collection. Finally, in the Carabidge, Heer 

 names two new species of Harpalus and an Elaphrns, a genus not 

 before recognized at CEningen; while in Mr. Lacoe's collection I find 

 three other new species apparently referable to Harpalus, two new 

 species of Pterostichus, one which may be a new Amara, and others 

 which appear to fall in or near Badister, Diplochila, and Bembidium, 

 besides a remarkable new Calosoma. 



Six species of Calosoma are already known from CEningen. The 

 seventh, to which it seems well to call attention, is represented only 

 by elytra (PL VI. Fig. 4), as is the case with most of the species 

 already figured; but it is readily distinguished from all of them by 

 the double number of strife, there being thirty-two instead of sixteen, 

 which is the most other fossil Calosomce have. The striee are more 

 delicate than in the other species, but perfectly sharp, and are 

 delicately punctate throughout, the puncta in one stria about as 

 distant as those of neighbouring striae. There are no large impressed 

 puncta (a character common to two other species from CEningen), 

 and the transverse striation of the interstices, peculiar to Calosoma,
