ParrYj F. J. Sidney. A revised Catalogue of the Lucanoid 
Coleoptera; with remarks on the Nomenclature, and De- 
scriptions of New Species. Tr. E. Soc. 1870, pp. 53-118 
(March), pis. i.-iii. 
The author corrects errors in and adds species &c. to his 
former Catalogue. He discusses various points upon which he 
is at variance with Gemminger and von Harold, characterizes a 
few new genera and some new species, and gives some original 
synonymy and observations upon rare or recently described spe- 
cies, adding a revised catalogue of the whole division of Lu- 
canoidea (59 genera, 357 species) . A new genus and some new 
species are described by H. Deyrolle in this paper. 
Pascoe, Francis P. Contributions towards a knowledge of the 
CurculionidcB, Part I. P. L. S. x. pp. 434-493 (pp. 434-458 
pub. January 17, 1870; pp. 459-493 pub. May 20, 1870), 
pis. xvii., xviii., xix. 
The author notes the confusion of analogies with affinities in 
the classification of this group ; and, considering that no adequate 
genera have been erected for the reception of the numerous 
species discovered since the time of Schonherr, has selected 
indiscriminately as types of new genera such remarkable or ob- 
scure species as do not afford a ready clue to their systematic 
position. He also describes new species of recorded genera, 
and follows Lacordaire’s arrangement, without adopting his 
^^groupes,^^ and converting his ^Hribus'^ into subfamilies. These 
subfamilies, 82 in number, are divided by the author into seven 
categories,^^ tabulated at pp. 436 & 437.
