REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLll : 
Spartecerus), and Epipedus, from the interior of Cayenne, have been added 
as new genera ; besides this, almost all the earlier genera are enriched 
with new species ; as the typical specimens of the earlier descriptions 
were mostly given back to their owners, and thus served no longer for 
comparison, it could not be avoided, that frequently known species were 
described as new, an error of slight consequence in the very great 
utility of the work. I have remarked, in the report for 1839, p. 257, 
that the genus Euhlephat'us, Sol., which the author mentions under the 
Cleonides, as distinct, but unknown to him, falls under Lophotus, Sch. 
{JEgorhinus, Er.) 
Labram and Imhoff have concluded, with the tenth number, a volume 
of their “ Gattungen der Riisselkafer,” and also given a review of its 
contents. This tenth number contains Mecocerus diversipes, Imh., a 
new species from Guinea ; an exact analysis and copious description of 
the previously characterized genus Denterocrates ; Bldberus fallax , Sch., 
from the Cape ; a new species from Madagascar, under the name of 
Apoderus camelus, Sch., which was called by Klug, in the Berlin collec- 
tion, Ap. castaneus ; as a new species, the Rhynchites grandis, from the 
Philippine Islands, which is the Rh. coelestinus, Schonh. (Philippensis, 
Chevr.) ; Camarotus coccinelloides, Sch., from a drawing by Germar 
(fresh specimens are thickly dusted with yellow) ; the true Platymerus 
Germari, Sch., because, in the first number, PI. Dregei was represented 
under this name. 
Some Rhynchophorous Beetles, of Van Diemen’s Land, have been 
described by the reporter (Arch. 1842, p. 183-212), viz., — one Anthrihus, 
two Tropideres, one Rhinotia, one Rhynchites {Auletes), two Eurhyn- 
chus, one Amisallus, two Aterpus, one Pelororhinus, one Rhinaria, one 
Steriphus (new genus allied to Plinthus), two Amycterus, one Nothrodes 
(characterized as a new genus of the group Otiorhynchidce, but, as it 
seems to me, coming under the genus Pantopoeus, since published by 
Schonherr), four Mandalotus (a new genus most nearly allied to Tylo- 
deres), two Orthorhinus, one Erirhinus, one Notionomus, one Crypto- 
plus (a new genus, allied to Anophis), one Meriphus (a new genus of the 
group Erirhince), one Diapelmus (a new genus near to Anthonomus), 
eight Cryptorhynchus, three Acalles, one Cyllorhamphus (ranking with 
Mitrephorus, Sch.), three Melanterius (a new genus most nearly allied 
to Chalcodermus, Sch.), two Rhyncolus, one Tomicus, one Cryphalus. 
Several new East Indian CurcuUonidce have been made known by 
Guerin in Delessert’s Voyage (ii. p. 51-54) : Mecocerus gihhosus, Epi- 
somus montanus, Baridius neelgheriensis, Myllocerus suhfasciatus, 
from the Nilgherries ; M. Fabricii, from Pondicherry. 
Waterhouse (Proceed. Ent. Soc. p. 62 ; Ann. Nat. Hist. x. p. 68) has 
described two new genera, allied to Rhynchites : — Minurus ; rostrum 
elongatum ad apicem dilatatum, antennae elongatae tenues versus medium
