This remarkable form seems peculiar to New 

 Holland, where it appears to be the representative of 

 the African genus Temnorhynchus. It is worthy of 

 remark, that the males have only two calcaria on the 

 tibiae, while the females have three. Cheiroplatys 

 De Jeanii, and Gibbosus of Hope, and Ch. Juvencus 

 of Mr. Kirby's cabinet, belong to this genus. They 

 are all from New Holland. The figures of the 

 Trophi of this genus were made from Mr. Kirby's 

 dissection of a specimen of Ch. Juvencus in the 

 collection of the Entomological Society.
