REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII : 
maxillary lobe membranous; antennae long, the last joints, from the 
seventh, somewhat broader ; prothorax rounded, legs long, anterior thighs 
with one tooth, anterior tibiae crooked, middle tibiae in the male serrated 
internally (on the anterior tibiae the tooth and crook is stronger in the 
male) : M. tenebrosa, from Ashantee. 
Of two New Guinea species described by Imhof (Verhandl. der Na- 
turf. Ges. zu Basel, v. p. I7d), one, Iphthinus crenato-striatus, is identical 
with the Nyct. hypocrita, Westw. ; the other, Tenebrio guineensis, is 
known under the name of T. subrugosus, Dej. 
The reporter has described several species from Van Diemen’s Land 
(Arch. 1842, i. p. 174), namely, Upis (Iphthin.) angulatus, Tenebrio 
humilis, colydioides, corvinus. 
Hope (Guer. Magas, de Zool. Ins.) has figured Calcar (?) inhumatus 
(pi. 89), and Monomma resinoswm (pi. 87), both from Gum. Anime. 
The latter is nearly allied to M. marginata {Tritoma m.. Fab.), but is 
not the same ; the former must, at all events, be more minutely exa- 
mined to determine its genus. 
A monograph, by the Marquis de Breme, on the group Cossyphidce, 
Paris, 1842, has reached me, but I must defer my report upon it till 
next year, when it will be completed. From the notice in the Rev. Zool. 
1843, p. 46), it is at present to be understood, that the author imites the 
Helceus (with the exception of Cilibe) with Cossyphus, and divides the 
former into four, the latter into two sub-genera. 
The reporter (Arch. 1842, i. p. 175) has described Cilibe peltata as a 
new species from Van Diemen’s Land, and founded a new genus, Saragus, 
upon the Silpha Icevicollis, F., which (1. c. p. 171, t. 4, f. 7) was placed 
with the Pedinitce, but which now appears to me more closely allied to 
Helceus, 
Imhof has enriched the group of the Helopice (Verhandl. d. Naturf. 
Ges. zu Basel, v. p. 175) with two new species of Stenochia, St, cribri- 
pennis and cupripes, and one of the (still undescribed) genus Hybonotus, 
Dej., H, femoralis ; all from Guinea. 
The reporter (Arch. 1842, i. p. 175) has described three new species of 
Adelium from Van Diemen’s Land, and characterized two new genera : 
OlistJicena (p. 177, t. 4, f. 8), and Titcena (p. 178, t. 4, f. 9) ; the former 
with one, the latter with two new species. 
The new genus, Ulodes of the reporter, belongs to the Diaperialce, 
and has one new species, U, verrucosus, from Van Diemen’s Land (1. c. 
p. 180, t. 5, f. 1). Bolitophagus Sapphira, Newman (Entomologist, 
p. 404), from Port Philip, appears to be a very distinct new species. 
Margus obscurus, Redtenbacher (Col. Austr. p. 17), from Austria, may 
be placed as synonymous with Teneb, madens, Charp. 
A new genus, Blepusa, of the group Cistelidce, has been described 
by Westwood (Transact. Ent. Soc. iii. p. 69, t. 3, f. 3). It is Alleculi-
