Cantharoctenus insignis, Gerst., figured in V. d. Decken's Reisen, iii. 
pt. 2, pL xii. fig. 2. 
Iloma'stJiesis, g. n.. Leconte, ojJ. cit. (265), p. 288. Differs from Prionus 
in having the sensitive surface of the antennae uniform in the $ , and the 
sides of the thorax unidentate. P. integer^ Lee, and emarginatufi, Say (of 
which innncuus, Lee, is probably the $ ). 
Geramhycides. 
H. W. Bates, Ann. N. H. (4) xi. pp. 21-45, 117-132, recapitulates 
the characteristics of the Rhinotragides^ describing the genera and species 
of that group occurring in tropical America. He considers the triangular 
shape of the metasternal episterna to be essential. Rhinotragus margi- 
natus, Perty, = dorsiger, Germ., var. ^Eckmutes, Bates, = Ornistomus, 
Thoms., which, though three years prior, is not accepted, as its name may, 
when the faulty grammatical construction is corrected, prove to be 
already employed in Zoology (Von Harold, C. H. xi. p. 122, rightly 
observes that Thomson's genus must stand, whether corrected or not. 
The obvious alteration to Ornithostomus he thinks could stand, not being 
used in Coleoptera ; if it had been, Orneostomus covldi have been employed 
[there is no Ornithostomus in any branch of Zoology]). Agaone, Pasc, 
is considered untenable, or at most applicable to its type species, A. 
notabilis. Acyphoderes hracMalis, Pasc, = femoratus, Klug. ; A. seri- 
cinus, White, = aurulentus, Kby. Phygopoda fugax^ Thoms., ? = 
albitarsiSj Klug. Pandrosos^ Bates, must be removed from the Rhino- 
tragides ; its proper place seems near Coremia. IstJimiade hephcestionides^ 
Thoms., = hraconides, Pty. ; Epimelitta, Bates, = C/iarxs, Newm., and C. 
acede, Newm., = barhicrus, Kby.; Molorchus laticornis, Klug., is a 
Tomopterus ; Sphecogaster hiplagiatus, Lac, = Spliecomorp>ha chalyhea, 
Newm., and Stenojyterus murinus, Klug., is also a Sphecomorpdia., which does 
not belong to the Necydalides. 
Criocephalus rusticus, L., and Gracilia pygmcea^ F., occur in Japan ; 
Stenocorus vittatus,F = Xystrocera glohosa, 01. ; Leptura aterrima, Mots., 
= atra, Laich., common in E. Siberia ; L. ochraceifasciata^ Mots., $ 
characterized, and var. n. ochrotela, from Nagasaki, described (p. 196) ; 
A nthoboscus alphabeticus, Chevr., = Clytanthus notabilis^ Pasc. ; C.japonicus, 
Chevr., ? = opjwsitus, Chevr. ; Purpuricenus japanus (and ? P. spectabilis)^ 
Mots., sinensis. White, = temmincJci, Guer., for which Sternoplistes, Guer., 
need not be retained. Id. op. cit. xii. pp. 151-201. 
Arhopalus eurystethus^ Lee, = Clytus antennatus, White ; Stenaspis 
unicolor, Dup., = .soUtarius, Say ; Elaphidion j^fuinosum, Dej., Guer.? 
= villosum, F. \_cf. also Zool. Rec. viii. p. 319] : J. L. Leconte, P. Ac. 
Philad. 1873, p. 336. Elaphidion operarium^ White, = procerum or sim- 
plicolle, Hald. ; Thersalus bispinus, Pasc, ? = E. atomarium, Dru., and 
Phacodes is a geographical var. of Elaphidion : id., Sm. misc. Coll. 264, 
p. 183. 
Neomarius gandolphii, Fairmaire, re-described as g. & sp. nn. by the 
author. R. Z. (3) i. pp. 350 & 351 [rf. Zool. Rec. ix. p. 301].
