REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII : 
towards the tip, thorax short : hiplagiatus (hhnaculatus), new species 
from Mexico. 
III. Priocera, Kirby ; four species : P. variegata, Kirby ; trinotata, 
new species from Columbia ; spinosa {Cl. spmosus, F., Till. Q-punctatus, 
Lap.) ; and P. hispinosa, new species from Brazil. 
In the following genera the first tarsal joint is shorter, but yet dis- 
tinctly recognisable. 
IV. Clerus. — 1. {Omadius, Lap.) Eyes close, upon the top of head, 
deeply emarginated beneath, claws dentated, hinder tarsi with the joints 
indistinctly separated, and the penultimate one only having a double- 
flapped appendage : a. Tarsal joints compressed, triangular from the 
sixth ; thorax cylindrical, oblong : Cl. proUxus {0. indicus, Lap.), and 
one new species, Cl. modestus; both from Java. — b. Joints of the antennae 
oblong, narrowed at both ends, thorax rounded on the sides, constricted 
posteriorly : Cl. nehulosus {O. trifasciatus, Lap.) — 2. (Stigmatium, 
Gray). Eyes and claws as in 1, the hind tarsi formed like the others : 
cicindeloides, Gray, and mutillarius, F. — 3. (Thanasinus, Latr.) Eyes 
distant, on the top of the head, emarginated beneath, antennae with 
(generally three) broader terminal joints, claws toothed beneath, tarsal 
joints of equal length ; the typical group, containing forty-five species, 
of which twenty-nine are new. — 4. Only diflering from 3 in the tarsi, in 
which the last joint is as long as the two preceding ; Cl. intricatus, new 
species from Van Diemen’s Land. — 5. Eyes distant, on the top of the 
head, a little emarginated beneath, terminal joints of the labial-palpi 
transversely hatchet-shaped, claws simple, the form of body resembling 
Opilus: Cl. 4i-maculatus, F., abdominalis, Germ., indicus, F., from 
the Cape, marmoratus, Dej. {Not. chinensis, F.), ibid., and Cl. mitis, 
new species, from the Cape. — 6. {Thaneroclerus, Lefv.) Eyes distant, 
on the top of the head, emarginated beneath, terminal joint of the labial- 
palpi slightly hatchet-shaped, claws simple, last tarsal joint as long as all 
the others : sanguineus, Say, Buquetii, Lefv., and one new species, der- 
mestoides, from Arabia Felix. — 7. {Pezoporus, Kl.) Wingless, and with 
simple claws, in other respects like 3, only ditfering by the head being 
large, and the anterior angles of the elytra not projecting : coarctatus, 
new species from the Cape. — 8. {Lemidia, Spin.) Eyes not emarginated, 
strongly projecting, antennas eleven -jointed, with dilated terminal joints, 
claws simple: nitens {Hydnocera nitens, Newm,). — 9. {ITydnocera, 
Newm., Phyllobcenus, Dej.) Eyes not emarginated, projecting, wide 
apart, antennae very short, ten-jointed, with a button-shaped terminal 
joint, labrum not emarginated: a. Claws dentated: humeralis, Say, and 
six new species : hasalis from Columbia, attenuatus, lividus from Brazil, 
hi'achypterus, suturalis from North America, tenellus from Mexico. 
h. Claws simple : steniformis, new species from Brazil. — 10. {Evenus, 
Lap.) Like 9, but the body elongated, the labial-palpi very long, with
