 require a thorough investigation. 



Sp. 73. Fastuosa. — Now of the genus Mimela 

 Kirby ; for the species of this genus the reader is 

 referred to a Monograph in the first volume of the 

 Entomological Transactions, page 11 6, where four-

 the Nilgherry mountains an undescribed species, 

 which I have named Mimela Xanthorhina. Vide the

Sp. 82. Mcerens. — This insect was described from 

 the cabinet of Dom. Rohr, which, if I am not mis- 

 taken, along with Sehestedt's and Lund's, are added 

 to the Royal Copenhagen collection. I am unable 

 to give any information respecting this species. 



Sp. 84. Aulicola. — This singular insect will pro-

 is remarkable, and differs from any of the published 

 genera of my acquaintance. 



Sp. 37. Arboricola. — Probably an Anisoplia. 

 Melolontha nitidula Oliv. appears to be the same 

 species as the above. It is questionable, however,

Sp. 98. Atomaria. — Now the type of the genus
