INSECTA, COLEOPTEKA. 
Portugal und den Cantabrisclien Gebirgenj — mit Beschrei- 
bungen der neuen Arten. B. E. Z. xiv. 1870 (Beiheft), 
pp. 1-176, Taf/ ii. 
The first part, pp. 1-56, contains accounts of various journeys 
by V. Ileyden in the above-mentioned parts of Spain and Por- 
tugal, with notes of the exact localities of the insects observed. 
These are almost entirely Coleoptera, though some few names of 
Hemipteraj Hymenopteraj and Diptera are mentioned ; the He- 
miptera are to be described hereafter by Kirschbaum. The 
second part, pp. 57 (75 in error) -176, contains descriptions of 
new species, 141 in number, found in these journeys by v. 
Heyden and others : the descriptions are by v. Ileyden, Dieck, 
V. Kiesenwetter, Scriba, Kraatz, de Saulcy, v. Harold, Desbr. 
des Loges, Haag, Seidlitz, Allard, Ch. Brisout, and Kirsch (some 
of those described by Dieck and Seidlitz are also referred to by 
those authors in other papers of the same publication for 1870). 
Three new genera are characterized, by v. Heyden, Kraatz and 
Dieek, and another is indieated by de Saulcy; and various ob- 
servations are made upon species already recorded from the above 
localities. Two new species of Choleva arc also described (in a 
note) by Kraatz, from Greece. At the end of the same Beiheft, 
pp. 21 1, 212, are dcscrij)tions by Loew of 5 new species of Diptera 
(gen. Oxycera, Opsehius^ Heterojwyon, Holopogonj and Stenopo- 
gon), which, from their localities, their capture by v. Heyden, and 
the quotation of Loewis name on the title of v. Heyden^s paper, 
Avould seem to have been intended to be included in the latter. 
The plate (ii.) contains outline figures of 7 of the most pro«- 
minent of the species described, with some details. 
Heyden, Lucas von. Revision der europaischen Hymenoplia-
