To the above twenty genera several others might 

 be added ; the characters of them, however, are 

 not yet published. I most willingly leave the task 

 in the hands of Monsieur Solier, who seems to have 

 studied the Heteromera more thoroughly than any 

 Entomologist living. If some of his differences are 

 not admitted because they are slight, it does not 

 detract from the merit of the writer, who seems to 

 have undertaken a most laborious task, and to have 

 grappled fairly with it. We most sincerely hope 

 to see the completion of the Heteromera, and 

 anxiously wish that health may be allowed him to 

 finish them. Next to the Curculionidae of Schonherr, 

 the Heteromera of Solier is the most satisfactory 

 undertaking of modern days, with regard to ento- 

 mological works. 



Species of Fabrician Blaps. 



Sp. 5. Spinipes. — This insect belongs to the 

 genus Pelorus of Bonelli, one of the Zabridae. 



Sp. 7. Tenebrosa. — Either a Zabrus or a Pelorus 

 of Bonelli. This insect apparently is unknown to 

 the French and English Entomologists. 



Sp. 8. Buprestoides. — I suspect that this insect

 locality is the East Indies, and not the Cape of 

 Good Hope.— Vid. Pallas Icon. 2. 719. 44. 



Sp. 9. 10. 11. and 12.— Belong to the family of 

 Pedinidae of Latreille. 



Sp. 13. Tibialis.— It appears doubtful if this is
