100  THE  REV.  F.  W.  HOPE'S  CHARACTERS  AND  DESCRIPTIONS  OF 
Corpus  supr^  seratum,  viridi  tinctum.  Thorax  confertissim^  punctatus.  Elytra 
linea  longitudinal!  impressa  vix  distincta,  punctatissima,  sutara  marginibusque 
virescentibus.  Corpus  vahh.  cupreo-branneum.  TibicB  anticse  2-spinosse,  Tarsi 
subtus  flavo-pubescentes. 
This  species  of  Lucanus  is  remarkable  for  its  metallic  colour,  quadrate  head,  ciliated 
tarsi,  and  semicircular  mentum.  In  other  respects  it  may  be  arranged  under  the  genus 
Dorcas,  MacLeay. 
Genus  Pholidotus,  MacLeay. 
Pholidotus  irroratus.

nosse,  dente  medio  majore,  reliquis  vix  distinctis;  posticse  2-dentatse.  Ungues  sim- 
plices. 
Mas  adhuc  latet. 
This  insect  is  certainly  referrible  to  Pholidotus,  which  genus  may  be  divided  into  two 
sections,  depending  on  the  form  of  the  head  in  the  female,  and  on  that  of  the  thorax. 
The  distinction  may  be  thus  expressed : 
*  ?  Capite  trigono ;  thorace  orbicular!. 
**  $  Capite  transverso-quadrato ;  thorace  transverso.
