XVIII. Descriptions of new species of Cleridte. By 

 the Rev. H. S. Gorham. 



[Read August 1st, 1877.] 



The following notes and descriptions of new species of 

 CleridcB form a sequel to a paper published in " Cistula 

 Entomologica" in 1876. Their publication has been de- 

 layed, owing to unusual difficulties in unravelling the 

 synonymy and identifying the types of various authors. I 

 have had, however, the advantage of consulting the rich 

 collection of Mr. Fry, whose liberahty in placing his 

 collection in my hands for that purpose I most gratefully 

 acknowledge. This collection, as is naturally to be ex- 

 pected, is especially rich in South American novelties, 

 many of them collected by his own hand. I have also, 

 during the present spring, visited M. Chevrolat and in- 

 spected many of his types. My acknowledgments are also 

 due to Major Parry for similar facilities by which this 

 contribution to the history of the Cleridce has profited.
