THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
* * * * Southern Africa is also 
the locality where the single species 
of this genus ( P. pallida J occurs, and 
which, in collections, is one of the 
rarest in existence. It is of moderate 
size, and, in colour, entirely pale 
testaceous. * # * * 
Genus Ambltcueila. 
* * * * Elytia rather elongated, 
Solered together, and laterally mar- 
gined. Tarsi rather short. Female 
only known. 
* * * * This insect A. cylindri- 
f or mis? J represents, on the .North 
AVest coast of America, the African 
genus Manticora. It is of great size 
and extremely rare in collections. 
Genus Omus. 
* * * * Elytra soldered together, 
oval and laterally margined. The 
three first joints of the anterior tarsi 
strongly dilated in the males. 
* * * * Locality as in the last 
genus * * * * It comprises already 
three rather large and quite black 
species. 
Genus DaoMocnoRus. 
M. Guerin Meneville has establis- 
hed this genus for the reception of a 
remarkable species ( D. PilateiJ dis- 
covered in Texas by M. Pilate. * * * 
* * * * The three first joints of 
the anterior tarsi slightly dilated in 
the males. 
* * * * This species is nearly as 
large as those of the genus Omus, and, 
like them, of a dull black color. 
This concludes the first tribe of the 
family Cicindeletes, — a tribe of which, 
probably not many of our readers pos- 
sess examples. The insects which 
compose it appear to be, in general, 
very rare in cabinets, though, no 
doubt, they are all common in their 
several localities. Whatever opinions 
we may entertain on the question 
of the raretv of British insects, we 
may reasonably suppose that when 
we consider the Entomology of the 
globe, we shall find that every species 
has its “ local habitation ” where it 
occurs in plenty ; the only thing is to 
find it.
