 changed to Cancellatus. 



Sp. 41. Leucopthahnus. — Now an Omaseus of 

 Ziegler, and one of the genera composing the Fe- 

 roniadse of Latreille. I have before recorded my 

 opinion respecting this group. It requires a tho- 

 rough revision ; my friend, Dr. Eschscholtz, informed 

 me by letter that he had undertaken the arrange- 

 ment of these Carabidse, and had communicated 

 his views to the Baron De Jean. Is the De 

 Jeanian arrangement of the last Catalogue the 

 same as that of Dr. Eschscholtz ? if so, little im- 

 provement has been made. I subjoin a Table of 

 the various forms which may be classed together, 

 but not under the name of Feronia, which has 

 previously been used by Dr. Leach to designate a 

 dipterous genus. I propose, therefore, to change 

 the name of the goddess of the groves, for that of 

 one of the Muses, namely Thalia.
