Mr. James ThomsorHs Catalogue of Lucanidce. 445 



out to my friend Count Mniszech its difference from Sph. Lindenii, 

 Murray. 



4. Streptocerus speciosus, Fairmaire ; Thomson, Cat. p. 393. 



Syn. Dejeanii, Solier, Gay's Hist. Chili. 



It was Mons. Solier, not Mons. Blanchard, who gave the name 

 of Dejeanii, loc. cit., to the insect previously described by Mons. 

 Fairmaire. As no reference to the descriptions of this species is 

 made, 1 now give it. 



5. speciosus, Dej. Cat.; Fairmaire, Ann. Soc. Ent, 1850, p. 53, 



pi. l,fig. «a^, b ?. 



S. Dejeanii, Solier, Gay, Hist. Chili, torn, v. p. 44 (1851). 



S. speciosus, Westw. Trans. Ent. Soc. iii. N. S. pi. xi. fig. 1. 



Tn the work alluded to Mons. Solier quotes Mons. Fairmaire's 

 description under the name of S. Dejeanii, This I need scarcely 

 point out to be an error. 



5, Lepidodes, Westw.; Thomson, Cat. p. 392. 

 Cacostomus, Newman (1840). 

 . L. rotundicollis, Westw. (1841). 

 C. squamosus, Newman (1840). 



Had Mr. Thomson consulted the published descriptions of the 

 above genera, he would not have substituted Prof. Westwood's 

 name for that of Mr. Newman. Mr. Newman published Cacosto- 

 mus squamosus ^ as a new genus in the Mag. Nat. Hist. vol. 4 (1840). 

 Prof Westwood's descriptions, ^2, appeared in the Ann. Nat. 

 Hist. 1841. Consequently Mr. Newman's genus has an undoubted 

 priority. In vol. iii. N. S., of our Entomological Transactions, 

 1855, under the name of Cacostomus squamosus, Newman, Prof. 

 Westwood has again given a further interesting account of this 

 genus. 



6. Lamprima amplicollis, Thomson, n. sp. 



Count Mniszech informs me that he considers this species as 

 only a var. of L. Latreillei, M'Leay. 



7. Lamprima fulgida, Boisduval ; Thomson, Cat. p. 393. 



With the above-named insect has been united L. varians, Ger- 

 mar, a very distinct species.
