82 Proceedings of the 



calls intermedins, angustatus, castaneus (or cisteloides, FrohL), and 

 agilis. In speaking of Sturm I have already expressed my 

 opinion that castaneus and angustatus were varieties of the same 

 species, and I cannot come to a different opinion as regards 

 intermedins. When I go over the species seriatim, I shall give 

 my reasons for this as well as for any similar views I may have 

 adopted regarding other species. 



In the second section he includes acicularis (a new species, 

 which from the description seems distinct, but which I have not 

 seen in nature), umbrinus, fuscus, picipes, meridionalis, nigricans, 

 coracinus, morio, nigrita, grandicollis, chrysomeloides, longulus, 

 Kelln. (which, as already mentioned, I think only a variety of 

 tristis), tristis, rotundicollis, neglectus (a new species nearly allied 

 to tristis), alpinus, fumatus, brevicollis (a new species which I have 

 not seen, but which appears from the description to be good), 

 and scitulus. 



The third section is confined to velox, badius, precox, brun- 

 neus, and anisotomoides. 



The fourth section is characterized as follows, viz. : — 



" Mesostemum feebly keeled ; body oblong, smooth and shining ; 

 antennce strong, scarcely thickened towards the point ; differ- 

 ence of sexes unknown.^ 



This section is erected by Kraatz to receive a single species 

 named by him lucidus, and described from a single specimen 

 found in Dalmatia. 



The fifth section has received the greatest increase. Hitherto 

 it had only contained the two species sericeus and varicornis, but 

 Kraatz has added three new species, strigosus, validus, and colo- 

 noides. I have not seen validus, but the others appear to me good 

 and distinct species. 



Catopsimorphus orientalis he retains as forming a separate 

 genus. 



The number of exotic species which have been described is 

 not great. 



M. Motschoulsky described a species from Georgia, C. pusillus, 

 in the Bulletins of the Imperial Society of Moscow for 1840. 



Kolenati described in the ( Meletemata Ent/ a species, C.fun- 

 gicola, from the Russian Province of Elisabethopoleos. 



Menetries described a species (C. pallidus) from Bakon in the 

 Caucasus in his ' Catalogue raisonne des Objets de Zoologie re- 

 cueillis dans un voyage au Caucase/ &c. He also described in 

 the Mem. Acad. Imp. Sciences de St. Petersbourg, 6 ser. vi. 1849, 

 two species, C. lateritius and C.fuscipes, found at Novaia Alex- 

 androvskaia.
