 others closely allied to it, appears to form a distinct 

 genus. The Baron de Jean has thrown together 

 several species under the term Schizonycha. Now, 

 as that generic name is applicable to many of the 

 Melolonthidse I merely range globator under Melo- 

 lontha, till such time as the generic characters are

 present day to be admitted by any person calling 

 himself an Entomologist.

Sp. c Z. Coryphaeus. — Now of the genus Bolbo-

 them. I am acquainted with more than 30 species,
