species of Megerles genus Uloma : Schonherr 

 doubts it being a true Tenebrio. 



Sp. 12. Minutus. — I know not to what genus 

 this insect can be applied, without it is a Latridius 

 or Corticaria. 



Sp. 18. Gibbus. — A note in Schonherr's Syno- 

 nymia Insectorum leads me to consider this species 

 as a Zabrus. 



Sp. 23. Linearis. — In Schonherr's Synonimy this 

 insect is ranged under the genus Tenebrio, with the 

 following note appended to it — "An hujus generis?" 

 I consider it as unknown to modern Entomologists. 



Sp. 28. Variabilis. — There is great perplexity 

 and doubt relating to this species. According to 

 Latreille it is a Moluris. Uliger considers it the 

 same as Pimelia Chrysomeloides of Herbst, and 

 probably it is the same as P. Scabra of Fabricius. 

 If it is the Pirn. Variolaris of Olivier, it is an 

 Adesmia. The Baron de Jean regards it as a 

 Calcar, and I feel inclined to think that he is right 

 in his conjectures. 



Sp. 31. Tibialis. — I was inclined to consider this 

 species as an Acanthomera of Lattreilie; from a 

 reference in my MSS., nearly obliterated, I have re- 

 ported it as a Gonopus of Dr. Fischer. I am unable 

 to give the authority, as the name was written in 

 pencil, and is now nearly obliterated.
