rather short, thick, not longer than the thorax, with the 
first article moderately large, the second short, the third a 
little longer than the following, which are short, almost 
square, compressed, and become broader towards the extre- 
mity of the antenne ; the terminal article of an oval form; 
palpi of both pairs having their terminal article the longest, 
and of an oval form, rounded at its extremity; mandibule 
rather short, very strong, arched and pointed; labrum very 
strongly emarginated; legs strong; thighs rather dilated ; 
anterior tibise straight, strongly emarginated at their 
anterior side; tarsi strong, hirsute, the anterior pair having 
their four first articles triangular, the first being a little 
larger than the others; head of a triangular form, nar- 
rowed behind the eyes in form of a neck; thorax large, 
rather cordiform ; elytra rather depressed, and of an oblong, 
oval form. 
Celanida Montana: length 8’; of a dark, glossy brown ; 
thorax large, cordiform, marginated laterally, with the ante- 
rior angles rounded; it has a longitudinal sulcate on the 
middle, a strong impression on each side near the posterior 
angle, and all its surface is covered with transversal striz ; 
elytra striated with a faint marginal line of points; antennez 
hirsute, except on their first four articles. 
From the mountains of Victoria. 
Note.—It is not impossible that this genus may corre- 
pond to Mr. Westwood’s Melissadera. It must be in all 
eases nearly allied to it, and my only reason for keeping it 
apart is that Mr. Lacordaire gives it as a principal character 
not to have the posterior part of the head prolongated in 
form of a neck, which Celanida has. . 
MORIOMORPHA. 
The insect on which I propose establishing this new 
genus is most interesting, as forming an intimate link 
between the gigantic Hyperion and Morio. Its characters 
are as follows :— 
Mentum deeply emarginated, with its central part rounded 
and convex ; the lateral wings large, pointed, cut obliquely 
on the interior side, and rounded on the external ; antenne 
at least as long as the head and thorax united ; the 
first article large, the second very small, the third the 
longest, the next conical, the others strongly moniliform, 
rather distant one from the other ; the last compressed, oval 
form, and very pointed ; palpi of both pairs with their ter-
