Sp. 71. Auratum. — Schonherr regards this species 

 as a Cerambyx ; Gmelin ranks it as a Callidium, 

 and compares it with Cal. Violaceum. With the 

 latter authority I am inclined to agree. 



Sp. 76. Bajulus. — Now an Hylotrupes of Ser- 

 ville. I have received this insect from New Hol- 

 land. Linneus considers it as European, Kalm 

 regards it as a North American insect. I do not 

 presume to state that originally it was an English 

 species ; that it is now naturalized and abundant 

 about timber-yards cannot be doubted. The Aus- 

 tralian specimens accord entirely with those I have 

 taken in this country ; at least I have been unable 

 to detect any specific reference. 



Sp. 78. Liciatus. — Now a Clytus of Fabricius. 

 The insect is named by Fabricius Hafniensis, and as 

 Liciatus is certainly the same species I adopt the 

 Linnean name. 



Sp. 81. Castaneus. — This insect, if I remember 

 rightly, is a Monacantha of Kirby, one of the Steno- 

 choridae; Schonherr refers to Panzer's edition of 

 Voet. 3, page 46. 75. 1. 17. I have been unable to 

 obtain a sight of the above work. 



Sp. 83. Ebulinus. — Probably a Certallum of 

 Megerle. In Gmelin's Systema, at page 1856, this 

 insect is compared with Cer. Iatalicus in regard to its 

 form. By some writers, Italicus is considered only 

 a variety of Certallum ruficolle, It must here be 

 stated that another species, named Ebulinus, be-* 

 longs to the modern genus Dorcasomus.
