Sp. 49. Mucoreus. — I cannot give any informa- 

 tion respecting this insect. If it comes from the 

 New World, it is likely to be an Heilipus, 



Sp. 53. Depressus. — I have recorded this species 

 as a Cryptorhynchus ; it may however be an 

 Heilipus. 



Sp. 74. Argyreus. — This species may be a 

 Cratopus of Schonherr. There are several Linnean 

 Curculionidae, unknown to the above assiduous 

 writer. As a copious supplement may shortly be 

 expected, some of the doubtful species will no 

 doubt be ascertained. 



Sp. 77. Speciosus. — It is with doubt that I re- 

 cord this species as a Rhigus. There seems to 

 be a difficulty respecting its true locality, I regard 

 it as belonging to the New World. 



Sp. 94. Abbreviates, — I suspect that this insect 

 may be a Sphenophorus of Schonherr. 



Attelabus, Linneus. 



This is certainly the most imperfect of all the 

 genera established by Linneus ; as under the name 

 of Attelabus, one of the Curculionidea, we meet 

 not only with Carabidae and Tillidae, but with 

 Upis belonging to the Tenebrionidae, and Spon- 

 dylis, which is a longicorn beetle. As the species 

 offer nothing worthy of remark, I pass on to the 

 Longicorns, comprehended by Linneus under the 

 term of Cerambyx.
