Parnid^e. 
V. Heyden (B. E. Z. xiv. Beih. p. 112) reproduces the description of 
Mmis carinatus, Perez. 
Bold (Ent. M. M. vii. p. 36) publishes Crotch’s redescription of Hydro- 
chus [1] parurnoculatuSf Hardy, which appears to he closely allied to macro- 
nychuSf though its antennse are 11 -jointed. No further light is thrown on 
the question of its true geographical locality.

Heterocerid^. 
' Heterocerus funebris and Jlavescens, Schauf. The author redescribes these 
spp. (Nunq. Otios. pp. 39 & 40), affirming the distinctness of the latter from 
jdavidus (Rossi) and hamifer, G4ne. 
V. KiESENWETTEii (B. E. Z. xiv. Beih. p. 112, note) records Spanish loca- 
lities for Heterocerus holoset'iceus, Rosenh., and (p. 113) redescrihes H.fune- 
bris, Schauf.

Lucanides. 
Motscuoulsky (Bull. Mosc. xliii. p. 18 et aeq.) discusses the question as 
to the specific value of certain members of Lucanus, particularly as regards 
Kraatz’s views on the point. His own opinions are apparently in favour of 
a number of distinct species, which he divides into three sections, charac- 
terized respectively by the club of their antennae being composed of 4, 5, or 6 
joints. He describes some as new, and considers Kraatz wrong in uniting 
certain forms by intermediate linhs and in regarding individuals taken in 
copula as belonging to the same species. He describes (with some external 
detail in outline, pi. ii.) the following spp. as distinct : — L. cervus, L., carpa 
[sic], 01., maxillaris, Mots., from the Crimea, Hungary, &c. ; europceus, 
sp. n., 1. c. p. 30, t. ii. f. 4, Kharcov ; reichei, sp. n., p. 31, f. 5, Toulouse,
