 New as well as the Old World. 



Sp. 76. Globator Fab. — This insect, with several 

 others closely allied to it, appears to form a distinct 

 genus. The Baron de Jean has thrown together 

 several species under the term Schizonycha. Now, 

 as that generic name is applicable to many of the 

 Melolonthidse I merely range globator under Melo- 

 lontha, till such time as the generic characters are 

 detailed. Generic names without published cha- 

 racters, and specifying a type, ought not at the 

 present day to be admitted by any person calling 

 himself an Entomologist.

Sp. 2. Coryphceus. — Now of the genus Bolbo-

 them. I am acquainted with more than 30 species,
