48 EEV, T. A. MABSHALL— COBYNODINORUM BECESSIO. 



Type of the genus, Chrysochus Gaschkevitchii, MotBch. Etufl. 

 Ent. ix. p. 23. The more strongly dikted antenme appear to 

 separate this insect from Chrysochus and to approximate it to 

 Corynodes, while in habit it more resembles the former genus. It 

 is a common insect in Japan and Northern China, and has been 

 named after Madame Gasehkevitcli, wife of the Eussiau envoy at 

 Khakodody.

 Common in collections. This species appears to have a wide 

 range ; four individuals in Mr. Clark's collection, ticketed " China," 

 are indistinguishable from those of Europe.

Baly, Ann. 8f Mag. N. H. August 1859.— Hai. N. China. 



In the collections of the Eev. H. Clark and Mr. Baly. It is 

 perhaps the same as C.e.'vquisitiis, Eschscholtz, from Dauria. Some 

 insects of Chevrolat's collection, bearing this name, are rather 

 smaller than the Chinese examples, but present no other differ- 

 ence whatever. Having been unable to find any description of 

 C. exqtdsitm, Esch., I conclude that the name is only MS.
