The author characterizes the following new genera and species : — 
Merizomena, p. 100. Properly speaking, only a subdivision of Glycia, but 
pilose above, the sides of anus much punctured, and less elongate. Cy- 
mindis basalis, Chaud., Agatus tricolor, Gebl., and Singilis dimidiata. Mots. 
Zipost?'atia, p. 101. Closely allied to Callida, but with 4th joint of tarsi 
not bilobed but deeply notched. Callida dichroa, Chaud., C. rufula. Gory, 
L. cribrip)ennis, p. 102, Natal, and moirffleti, p. 103, Benguela, spp. nn., and 
? C. elongata, Boh. 
Spongoloba, p. 152. Apparently a transitional form between Callida and 
Pliilopyga; intermediate tarsi in with first (and sometimes second) joint 
lamellate beneath. C. fidgida. Be]., cyanipennis, Chaud. {=sma?-agdina. 
Be]., $), amd punctata. Bee. 
Euplatia, p. 153. Last joint of labial palpi only slightly dilated, and no 
lamellae to intermediate tarsi in of wide, short, and flat build. E. lati- 
usctda, ibid., Ega. 
Phesa, p. 154. 4th joint of all tarsi simply cordate; tarsi not spongy 
beneath. Callida diluta, Chaud. 
Otoglossa, p. 158. Differs from Micragra (Cylindronotum, Putz.) in its 
less elongate build, smooth head and thorax, prominent eyes, and shorter, 
quadrate, and flat elytra. O. tuberculosa, ibid., Minas, semilcevis and inccqualis, 
p. 160, Ega, terminalis, p. 161, Rio. 
Jlyboptera, 1^. 161. Form of Cryptobatis, elytmtuhercvl&te. Lebia tuber- 
culata. Be]., Aspasia verrucosa, Reiche, H. viridivittis, Rio, angidicollis, Ega, 
p. 164. 
Onota, p. 165. Allied to Otoglossa ; anterior angles of paraglossse widely 
subproduced-rotundate. O. bicolor, ibid., Brazil, Lebia ? angidicollis, Rche., 
O. tenuicincta, p. 166, Ega, rutilans, Cayenne, elongata, Brazil, p. 167. 
Phacocerus, p. 173. Possibly only a section of Plochionus ; mentum un- 
toothed. P. piceus, ibid., Minas. 
Amelus, p. 174. Differs slightl}^ from Plochionus in the structure of its 
palpi, antennae, and tarsi. Coptodera nigripennis. Gory.
