 copies of figures from the works of former writers. He divides the family into twenty-nine 

 genera, containing one hundred and seven species. Of these the following two genera and six 

 species do not belong to our family: — Cosmeteira, type C. eques; and Ilemignathus containing 

 H. obscurus, II. olivaceus, and //. lucidus. The other two species are Cyrtostomus viridis, sp. n., 

 from America, and Arachnoraphis novce-guineCB. His new genera are: —
