REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII : 
of Gol. ( Trigonophorous) Delessertii ; as well as copious descriptions of 
the Cetonice collected by Delessert ( Onathocera olivacea, Macronota 
picta, Cet. Malay ana, Goryi, rufovittata). 
Saunders has characterized two new species from the north of India, 
Cremastocheilus {Ccenochilus) Camphellii, and C. hrunneus. (Proceed. 
Ent. Soc. p. 51.) 
Among the Lucanidce, Mulsant has described (Col. Fr. p. 582) a 
genus, Ilexaphyllus, which he had characterized (1838) in the Lyons 
“ Ann. d. Sc. Phys. et Nat. publ. par la Soc. d’Agric.,” but which has 
hitherto been little known ; it differs from Lucanus only in the greater 
number of antennal plates, a characteristic which is not essential in 
Lucanus, and in which the species nearest allied show variation. The 
species, H. Ponibrianti, Muls., which was found once at Lyons, does not 
appear to me to be new, but identical with L. harbarossa, F. 
Hope has characterized, as new, species of Lucanus, from Western 
Africa (Ann. Nat. Hist. ix. p. 494), L. Savagei, picipennis, angulatus. 
Guerin has figured, in Delessert’s Souv. (p. 48, t. 12, f. 3), under the 
name of Lucanus Delessertii, a variety of the L. bicolor, 01., in which 
the yellow of the sides of the elytra gradually dilates posteriorly. 
Dorcus Lessonii, Buquet, is a new Chilian species. (Ann. d. 1. Soc. 
Ent. d. Fr. xi. p. 283, t. 12, 1.) 
The species of the genus Lamprima have been catalogued by the 
reporter (Arch. 1842, i. p. 108). The males of one group have the 
single terminal horn of the anterior tibise very broad and hatchet- 
shaped : L. Latreillii, MacLeay {cenea, Boisd.) ; L. splendens, new 
species ; L. fulgida, Boisd. (aurata, MacLeay) ; L. rutilans, new 
species; here also belongs L. cenea, MacLeay {Lethr. ceneus. Fab.) In 
the others, the same terminal horn of the anterior tibiae is narrower 
and knife-shaped ; L. viridis, new species ; and L. Micardi, Reiche. 
L. pygmcea, MacLeay, is doubtful. 
Two Guinea species of Passalus have been described by Imhof (Verb, 
der Naturf. Ges. zu Basel, v. p. 171) : P. parasticus, like the P. barbatus, 
F., but the antennal club is three-leaved (in that it is five-leaved), is 
new ; the other, P. dasypleurus (p. 172), appears to me identical with 
P. planiceps, Esch. 
Tenebriones. — The Marquis de Breme has published, in the Rev. Zool. 
p. 81 and 106, and also under a separate title, “ Monographie de quelq. 
genr. de Coleopteres heteromeres appartenant a la tribu des Blapsides, 
8vo., avec une planche au trait. Paris, 1842 a monograph of one group 
of Blapsides, which embraces Misolampus, Sphcerotus, and some other 
allied genera. Misolampus has four species, of which two are new: 
M. lusitanicus, like the M. gibbulus, but the dots upon the head and 
prothorax are more isolated and deeper, the elytra without striae and 
irregularly dotted, is from Portugal ; and M. Ramburi, with rows of
