right middle leg bearing two tarsi, the inner one having a claw-joint, and 
parts of the limb being unduly thickened. 
Rhayium hifaseiatum : Weyers (Ann. Ent. Belg. xiv. c.-r. p. xxix) records 
a curious var. 
Toxotus serieeus, Gu6r., is probably a Sagridola, if not identical with 
Artelida crinipeSy Thoms. ; Fairmaire, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (6) i. p. 77. 
Strangalia {Stemird) oxypteruy Fald., = jcegeriy Hum., ! Ballion, Bull. 
Mosc. xliii. p. 272. 
Callidium hungaricum : Abeille de Perrin (Nouv. et faits, p. Ixvii) refers 
to the prevalence of this sp. in all white-Avood trees of the Hautes Alps, and 
(p. Ixxix) considers his C. spinicorne io replace femoratum inS. France. 
Clytiis heUieriy Gaut., = rhamniy Germ. : des Loges, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) 
i. Bull. p. Ixxv. 
Eunjscdis sidumlu : a var. of this American sp. is recorded from Bheims, 
bred from exotic wood used in dyeing : ibid. p. Ixvii. 
Vesperus xatarti. Mulsant and Lichtenstein (Ann. Soc. L. Lyon, xviii. 
pp. 306-310) give a history of the economy of this species. The larva is 
said to depart from the known habits of all other Longicorns in living under- 
ground, devouring the roots of vegetables: Lichtenstein, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 
(5) i. Bull. p. Ixxix. Laboulbene {ibid. p. Ixxxi) remarks that the larvje of 
other Longicorns live on roots, and that such a habit is probably general in 
JDorcadian : cf. also DeyroUe, Pet. Nouv. p. 167. 
New genera and species : — 
.BolbotrituSy II. W. Bates, Tr. E. Soc. 1871, p. 376 (Sect. A, div. I. Ceramb. 
vr.y Lac.). With very short antennae, of which the bulbous 3rd joint is 
enormously enlarged. £. bamesiy id. ibid.y II. Mungwe, S.E. Africa. 
Malthebciy Pascoe, Ann. N. II. (4) viii. p. 270 {Neostmides). With a soft 
abdomen and thin membranous elytra, like Vesperus) prothorax spined. 
M. Jlexilisy id. 1. c. p. 271, W. Australia. 
Simocrgsa, Pascoe, 1. c. p. 272 {Pterostenidcs). Differs from Aphiorhynclius 
in the comparatively shorter antenna3 and femora, and from Darnomisis by 
the length of its muzzle and the non -approximation of the auteniiye, to the 
eyes (pi. xiii. f. 7). S. discolor, id. ibid.y K. G. Sound. 
Phyodexia, Pascoe, 1. c. p. 273 (Mythodides) . Strikingly dissimilar in 
habit and many points of structure to the other 2 genera of the group. 
P. concinnay id. ibid. pi. xiii. f. 2, Mussooree, Himalaya. 
Ochyrtty Pascoe, 1. c. p. 273. To be placed in a new subfamily,” ap- 
proaching Zoedia in prothorax and elytra and following the Aphneopides. 
Facies of Euderces {Tillomoiphides). O. coarctatay id. l.c. p. 274, pi. xiii. 
f. 3, Mt. Wellington, Tasmania. 
AnomoderuSy Fairmaire, i. c. p. 69 {Molor chides). Very near Brachypteroma ; 
thorax 4 times as long as head, strongly constricted in the middle. A. eo- 
quereliy id. 1. c. p. 60, Madagascar. 
Thaumasocerus [rectius Thaumasi~y Thaumast-, vel Thmmiatocerus']y id. 1. c. 
p. 61 {Glaucy tides). Very near IresioideSy Thoms., but with the 3rd, 4th, and 
5th joints of the antennie ( <5 ) strongly dilated and compressed, shorter palpi, 
and very elongate thorax. (The author indicates at p. 63 a belief that Ire- 
sioides is not well founded generically, and also that it and Thaumasocerus 
could well be associated with Glaucijtes.) T. platyceruSy id. ibid.y Madagascar.
