Sp. 33. Typhon. — The locality of this species is 

 not recorded by Fabricius. I have received it from 

 Bahia. It occurs also in other parts of South Ame- 

 rica. Most of these gigantic Beetles are figured in 

 the old writers on Entomology. This species is 

 subject to vary considerably. Laniger of Olivier, 

 Goliathus of Voet, and Esau of Jablonsky, are only 

 varieties of the same species. 



Sp. 44. Milon. — This insect ought to form the 

 type of a distinct genus, at present I range it with 

 Megaceras of Kirby, which it evidently approaches ; 

 a second specimen from the island of Java will be 

 found in the Kirbyan collection so generously pre- 

 sented by that individual to the Entomological 

 Society of London. 



Sp. 47. Barbarossa. — This insect diverges from 

 the type of Oryctes ; apparently there are two other 

 insects confounded in various collections with it, 

 one from the new settlement at Swan River, and the 

 other from Melville Island. 



Sp. 65. Retusus. — The Baron De Jean has given 

 the generic name of Coptorhinus to this species, a 

 name which was published by me some years since 

 in the Zoological Transactions, it must therefore be 

 changed ; as it is significant of the genus, I substi- 

 tute for it the term Temnorhynchus.
