182 Mr A. L. Adams on the Mummied Bodies of the Ibis. 



" In none have I been able to see any material diiference between them 

 and the individuals of tlie present day. The species which I have been able 

 to identify are the following, and I mention the portions I have found in 

 order to indicate the probable value of my opinion, viz. : — 

 '• Calosoma eugosa, Sch., Dej. Spec, des Ooleopt. ii. 202. 

 . " Heads, thoraces, elytra, abdomen, legs, and tarsi — almost every part of 

 the insect, but all separate. 



" This species is not (as far as I am aware) now to be found in Egypt, 

 It is found in the Cape of Good Hope, and at least as far north as 

 Natal. Dejean quotes the Cape of Good Hope as the locality of his 

 specimens. , Boheman gives Natal. But it is not quoted in any of the 

 Mediterranean lists (which of course include the records of Egyptian 

 species), and I am not acquainted with any instance of specimens 

 having been found anywhere else than the Cape. It is represented 

 on the west coast by a somewhat smaller but very similar species, 

 0. imhricatum. Its representative in Europe is C. inquisitor. Although 

 I do not see anything to warrant the fragments not being referred 

 to C. rugosum, they are not absolutely the same. They are rather 

 smoother, perhaps smaller. The thorax has the edging of its margins 

 not so much raised, and the rugose punctuation finer. 



Sphodrus, sp. 



The termination of an elytron. There is an Egyptian species named 

 picicornis by Klug, to which this may perhaps belong. I have not 

 seen it. 



- ' Hyphedrus senegalensis, Aube, Dej. Spec, des Ooleopt. vi. 453. 

 " The entire body, except the head and legs. 



" This specimen corresponds with Aube's description of H. senegalensis, 

 but I have not seen an authentic type of Aube's species. As the 

 name implies, the species comes from Senegal. There is no species 

 recorded as being found in Egypt which at all comes near the mum- 

 mied fragment. I have therefore the less hesitation in referring it 

 to senegalensis. 



" Ateuchus sacer, Linn. Syst. Nat., t, 1, part 2, f. 546, 18. 

 " A single broken tibia. 



" Although the fragment is small it is well marked, and shows that it 

 belonged to the true Egyptian sacer, and not to the other Mediter- 

 ranean variety pfm, or any other of the varieties of that species. 

 " Scaurus iritis, Fab., Sol. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., vii. 165. 

 " Fragment of elytra. 



Scaurus striatus. Fab., Sol. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., vii. 165. 

 A head. 



" Adesmia (perhaps) microcephala, Sol. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr,, iii. 



" Fragments of elytra. 

 " Ocnera (Fisch.), [Tr achy derma) hispida, Fab. Klug Symb. Phys. ii. pi. 12, f. 8. 



''Two fragments of the thorax and part of elytra, 

 " Pimelia, sp., Dej. 



" A number of legs belonging to one or other of the large Egyptian species of 

 Pimelia, such as P. coriacea, Dej., P. harhara, Sol., P. cribripennis, Sol,, &c.
