Sp. 5. Serrata. — Now an Holotrichia of Mr. 

 Kirby's manuscripts. There are in the Banksian 

 cabinet two insects labelled with this name ; one has 

 the thorax serrated, the other not. Is it a sexual 

 distinction ? 



Sp. 14. Alopex. — This insect is the type of Mr. 

 Kirby's genus Cephalotrichia j I am acquainted 

 with two other species from the Cape of Good 

 Hope, Ceph. vicina mihi, and amplexa Klug. 



Sp. 23. Atriplicis. — The Baron De Jean in his last 

 Catalogue ranges it under the term Anisonchus. 

 In Guerin's Magasin de Zoologie, pi. 20, however, 

 it is described and figured under the name of Hop- 

 lopus Laporte, from o7rXos- an( * 7rov?; as the cha- 

 racters are detailed, I consequently retain the latter 

 name. 



Sp. 26. Lanigera. — This insect belongs to the 

 genus Areoda Leach ; there are about twelve spe- 

 cies in the different Continental collections with 

 which I am acquainted. 



Sp. 27- Longicornis, — This species will form 

 the type of a new genus allied to Mr. Kirby's 

 Cephalotrichia. In my collection there are four 

 species, which I have named, Robusta, Boei, and 

 Klugii ; there are others in the collection of Mr. 

 Burchell, all of which inhabit Africa.
