REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII : 
Deilus fugax, Serv. {Callid. /., FaL.)> is figured by Germar (Faun. 
Ins. Europ. 22, 9). 
Several species from French Barbary have been described as new by 
Lucas (Ann. d. Sc. Nat. xviii. p. 184). Of these the more remarkable are, 
— Hamaticherus Mirbechii, which is hardly any thing else than II. velu- 
tinus, Dej. ; H. pahidivagus, which, so far as I can conjecture, does not 
differ from the H. Nerii, Chevr., of the reporter {mauritanicus, Buq.) ; 
Purpuricenus harharus, which I hold as a variety of the P. Desfon- 
tainii (S. Wagn. Algier. iii. 162) ; Hesperophanes rotundicollis, tomen- 
tosus, and g^nis ; and, lastly, Callidium thoracicum, Dej., which has 
been already described by Mulsant under the same name, and is the 
true Callid. melancholicum, F. 
Newman mentions, as new species, from the Philippine Islands 
(Entomol. p. 245), four Hamaticherus, three CallicJiroma, one Polyzo- 
nus, two Arhopalus, five Clytus, and one (Emona, on which he remarks, 
that this genus differs from Petalodes only by the simple antennae, and 
that therefore, perhaps, it may be the female of it. 
Hope mentions, as new species from New Holland (Proceed. Ent. Soc. 
p. 48), Ploccederus australasice, Stenochorus vicinus, cruciger, Xys- 
trocera australasice, Callidium essingtoni, from Port Essington; and 
Newman (Entomol. p. 352), Phoracantha imbellis, Callidium artifex, 
terebrans, Omotes cucujides, Sophron inornatum, from Port Philip. 
The reporter has described (Arch. 1842, i. p. 220), Stenocorus prcecox, 
Meropachys sericans, Phacodes personatus, from Van Diemen’s Land. 
The group of Lamice has been enriched with a long series, not only 
of new species, but also of new genera, through the labours of Newman, 
on the Beetles collected by Cuming at the Phillippine Islands. It would 
be difficult, however, for me to point out the characters of the new 
genera, as the author has often stated them in a very uncertain manner, 
and frequently left very essential circumstances untouched ; for example, 
the thoracic formation, even where it is very remarkable. There are 
mentioned (Entomol. p. 275, &c.), Batocera, with four species, of which 
three are new ; Anophlophora, one new species ; Monohammus, twelve 
species, of which ten are new ; Mimomorpha (p. 322), a new genus, with 
one new species; Lamia (pulchellator, Westw.), (p. 288) ; Agelasta, a 
new genus, but which does not seem to differ from Coptops, Serv., with 
three new species, to which C. cedijicator might be added; Ahryna 
(p. 289, 298, 323), a new genus, allied to the preceding, with five spe- 
cies; Euclea (p. 290), a distinct new genus, with two new species ; Cacia 
(p. 290), a new genus, with a tuft of hair on the fourth antennal joint, 
containing two new species ; Planodes (p. 323), a new genus, with one 
new species ; Doliops, Waterh., with two species : D. curculionides 
and geometricus, Waterh., the latter characterized by Waterhouse (Proc. 
Ent. Soc. p. 55) ; Agnia (p. 291), a new genus, allied to Ptychodes, con-
