Sp. 60. Carolina. — This species of Copris ap- 

 proaches Phanseus, and appears to form an inter- 

 mediate sub-genus connecting them ; it is remark- 

 able for its robust and gibbous form ; another 

 peculiarity seems to be the deeply excavated cha- 

 racter of the striae of the elytra. To it are nearly 

 allied Cop. Monacha, Fab. Cop. Eridanus, Olivier, 

 and also several undescribed species. 



Sp. 66. Plutus. — The specimens of this insect in 

 my collection were named by Fabricius, and were 

 purchased by me at Lee's sale: the labels state 

 them to have been received from the East Indies. 

 The Baron De Jean gives (in his Catalogue) the 

 Cape of Good Hope as its true locality. I am yet 

 inclined, however, to adopt the statement of Fabric 

 cius, that it was received from the East. 



Sp. 85. Tridens. — This insect is evidently allied 

 to Phanseus. Olivier gives the East Indies and 

 Cape of Good Hope as its true locality, in the 

 former case he is probably wrong, and if right in 

 the latter, Tridens should be the type of another 

 genus. Ph. Tridens De Jean from Mexico is cer- 

 tainly another insect. 



Sp. 100. Scabrosa. — It is with some doubt that I 

 place this insect as an Onitis, but if it belong to 

 that genus, there is evidently some mistake respect-
