4-^6 Major F. J. Sidney Parry's Remarks upon 



8. Cantharolelhrus, n. g., Thomson, Cat. p. 413. 

 C. Reickii $ . 

 A curious and interesting genus, the type of which, according 

 to Mr. Thomson, is Pholidotus Reichii $ , Hope, Colombia (vid. Ent. 

 Trans. Lond. vol. 4, pi. 13), a very rare species, — unique, I be- 

 lieve, in Coll. Thomson (olim Laferte). 



9. Cantharolelhrus Georgius, Thomson, Cat. p. 412 $ . 

 This second species, $, of which only a single specimen is 

 known, belongs to the rich collection of Count Mniszech, and was 

 described under the name of Dorcus Lvxerii, Buquet, Ann. de la 

 Soc. Ent. 1843. Why Mr. Thomson has ignored Monsieur Bu- 

 quet's description, and why he should have preferred founding his 

 new genus upon a J instead of a ^,1 am at a loss to under- 

 stand. It is very possible that they may prove hereafter to be one 

 and the same species. Mr. Thomson has placed this new genus 

 with the true Lucanidce ; I think, however, that it has a closer 

 affinity to the Chiasognathidcs , to which it was originally referred 

 by the Rev. F. Hope. 



10. Luc. Lunifer, Thomson, Cat. p. 393. 

 Syn. viUosus, Hope. 

 The synonymy of viltosus, attached to this species, is an error. 

 L. villosus, Hope (Zool. Miscel. 1831,Nepaul) is a very rare, but 

 distinct species. 



11. Z, Smithil, White (inedit. ?) ; Thomson, Cat. p. 394. 

 This new species was originally named by myself, after the pre- 

 sent excellent President of our Society, with a description prepared 

 for publication ; Mr. Thomson has shown more courtesy to Mr. 

 Adam White than he has to myself, for although a new species, and 

 apparently in his collection, he has most mercifully not published 

 it, but has condescended even to acknowledge the MS. name, 

 although in error as to the author of it. A description of this 

 species will probably appear in the next publication of the So- 

 ciety's Proceedings. (See Proceedings for December, 1862.) 



12. Hexarthrius Parnji, Hope; Thomson, Cat. p. 394. 



Syn. $ SerricoUis, Hope. 



Luc. SerricoUis ? was described by the late Rev. F. W. Hope, 

 vid. Cat. p. 11. The type of this insect I have examined ; it is not 

 the 2 of //. Parryi, but that of Hexarthrius Fursteri $ , also from 

 Assam.
