COLEOPTERA. 
Cerambycid^. 
J. L. Leconte, Sm. misc. Coll. No. 265, pp. 279-348 (May & June, 1873), 
in the 2nd part of his ' Classification of the Coleoptera of North America ' 
(of which Part i. formed No. 136 of Sm. misc. Coll., and was published 
in 1862), discusses the characters and aflanities of the following families : — 
Spondylid^, with sub-families Parandridae and Spondylidae : Ceram- 
BYCiD^, subf. 1, Prionidse, tribes Ergatini, Mallodontini, Derohrachini, 
Prionini, Tragosomini, Solenopterini (also called Poccilosomini) ; 2, Ceram- 
bycidse (genuinge), containing — a, Callidioides, tribes Asemini (groups 
Asemi, Opsimi, Smodici), CalUdiini] b, Ceramhycoides, tribes Ccrain- 
hycini (groups (Ernes, with sub-groups (Ernes, Achrysones, and Gracilise, 
Cerambyci, Ibidiones, Curii), Ohriini (groups Obria and Stenopteri), 
Rhopalophorini, Ancylocerini, Paristemiini^ Rosaliini (treated as a group ; 
accidentally, it is presumed), Callichromini^ Trachyderini (groups 
Megaderi, Trachyderes, Stenaspes, Tyloses), Stenosphenini, Clytini 
(groups Cyllenes, Clyti, Anaglypti), Agallissini\ c, Atimioides, tribe 
Atimiini; d, Lepturo ides, tvihes, Disteniini, Desmocerini, Necydalini, Ency- 
lopini, Lepturini ; 3, Lamiidse, containing — n,, Dorcadioides, tribes Dor- 
cadiini, Monilemini, Michtliysomini ; b, Cyrtinoides, tribes Cyrfinini, Pseno- 
cerini ; c, Lamioides, tribe Monohammini (groups Monohammi, Ptychodes, 
Goes) ; d, Mesosoides, tribe Mesosini ; Acanthoderoides, tYibe AcantJiodermi, 
sub-tribes Aca7ithoderini and Acantliocini (groups Lagochiri, Liopi, Acan- 
thocini, Dectes) ; f , Pogonocheroides, tribes Pogonocherini (groups Estolae, 
Pognocheri, ^upogonii) , Desmiphorini ; g, Oncideroides, tribes Onciderini, 
Antaxiini, Hippopsini ] h, Saperdoides, tribes Saperdini, Phytceciini; i, 
Methioides, tribe Methiini. Mention is made of various new genera and 
species, simultaneously described in Sm. misc. Coll. No. 264 (Part ii. ; 
part i, being No. 167, op. cit, 1866), and which will be hereunder recorded 
under the usual headings. It will be observed that the author departs 
considerably in some instances from Lacordaire's arrangement ; and his 
union of such widely different groups as the Parandridce and Spondylidiv, 
and his attributing to them when so united a rank equivalent to the whole 
of the other Longicornia, will probably receive but little support. 
H. W. Bates, Ann. N. H. (4) xii. pp. 148-156, 193-201, 308-318, 380-390, 
describes the Longicorn Coleoptera of Japan collected by George 
Lewis (62 new), whose captures have raised the number to 107 species. 
The nature and relations of these confirm the author's opinion that the 
Japanese fauna forms no part of the Palasarctic province. 
The pagination of the paper by Blessig & Solsky on the Longicornia of 
S. E. Siberia and the Amur district in Hor. Ent. Ross. ix. is erroneously 
given in Zool. Rec. x. p. 300; and should be referred to pp. 161-260 of 
the former work. Owing also to a confusion between the expressed dates 
and actual periods of publication, a portion of vol. ix. of the Hor. Ent. 
Ross, was included in Zool. Rec. x. 
Prionides.
