450 Major F. J. Sidney Parry's Remarks upon 



24f. Scortizus cnhratus ? , n. sp., Thomson, Cat, p. 429. Brazil. 

 From the description, 1 am inclined to believe it is the ? (hi- 

 therto undescribed) of Sclerostomus Neotragus $ , Westw. Ent. 

 Trans. N. S. vol. 3, p. 207, pi. H, fig. 3. 



25. Scortlzus cornuliis, Solier ; Thomson, Cat. p. 309. Chili. 

 Syn. cucullatns, Blanchard. 



M. Blanchard published both ^ $ of this species, under the 

 name of cucullatus, in D'Orbigny's Voyage Zool. pi. 12, fig. 10, 

 1845. The description of cornulus ? only v^'as given by Solier, 

 in Gay, Hist. Chili, 1851, p. 46, pi. 15, fig. 4; consequently M. 

 Blanchard's name has undoubted priority. 



26. Scortizi/s cuniculus (Dej.) $ , Thomson, Cat. p. 429, n. sp. 



Brazil. 

 Mr. Westwood has described the ? of this species under the 

 name of Sclerostomus costatus, Burm., Ent. Trans, vol. 3, 2nd 

 Series, p. 209, pi. 11, fig. 5. 



27. Figulus Australiciis, n. sp., Thomson, Cat. p. 432. New 



Holland. 

 Probably, as suggested by Mr. Thomson, a var. of Fig. regu- 

 laris, Westw. Ent. Mag. vol. 5, p. 263. 



28. Fig. clivinoides, n. sp., Thomson, Cat. p. 422. New Holland. 

 The description of this species answers to that of Fig. Lillipu- 



tonus, Westw. Ent. Trans. N. S. vol. 3, p. 219, pi. 12, fig. 5. 



29. Fig. sM&/«'t;i5,Palissot de Beauv.; Thomson, Cat. p. 402. Africa. 

 This species was published and figured in the Ins. Afr. et Amer. 



p. 3, pi. 1, fig. 4, to which no allusion is made by Mr. Thomson. 

 I have been informed by M. Chevrolat, in whose collection I be- 

 lieve the original type, from the kingdom of Oware, existed, that 

 it is a good species, and quite different from Fig. Ebenus, Westw., 

 syn. Fig. nigrita, id. anthracinus (Klug), although Mr. Thomson 

 has united it with them. Mr. Westwood is of the same opinion. 

 Vid. Ent. Mag. vol. 5, p. 262. 



30. Sclerostomus cicatrosus, Burm. ; Thomson, Cat. p. 400. 

 New Zealand. 

 Syn. reticulatus, Westw. 

 The nomenclature of this species ought to stand thus : — 

 Dorcus reticulatus, Westw. 1845, Ent. Trans, vol. 4, p. 275, 

 pl.20, fig. 4.
