Lucmius hopei, Parry, sericam, ^ o\i.,=maculifemoratus, Mots. ; Hexar- 
thrius chaudoiri, Deyr., = r/imoceros (01.) : Parry, Tr. E. Soc. 1870, p, 66. 
The author recharacterizes this group, which he restricts to Mesotopus, 
Luca7ius, Pseudolucanus, lihoitus, and IlexartJirius. Pseudolucanus, proposed 
by Hope for capreolus (L.) and atratus (Hope), is extended by him to har- 
barossa (F.) and mazama (Lee.) ; figured by Parry, pi. 1. f. 1 ; and, attri- 
buting slight importance to Hope’s character of the head of the c? not being 
angulated above, he considers the mandibles to afford the least variable dia- 
gnostic guide for it, stating that they seldom exceed the length of the head, 
are always strongly curved, and never present more than one tooth on their 
inner edge. 
Odontolabides. 
Parry (Tr. E. Soc. 1870, p. 74) considers that Odontolabis, Chalcodesj 
HeierochtheSy and hitherto located in the present suffi- 
cient characters in common to distinguish them from that subfamily and 
from his Cladognathides. These characters are : — clava of ant. triarticulate^ 
the leaflets being but moderately produced; clypeus remarkably small ; eyes 
divided in both sexes by a canthus; ant. tibiae in cf often considerably 
curved, with variable armature, 4 post, tibiae in both sexes invariably un- 
armed. The author figures (pi, iii. figs. 4, 6, 0) throe forms of the mandibles 
of Odontolahis castclnaudi, Parry, and briefly recharacterizes Westwood’s 
Chalcodes. Odontolahis gracilis, li. 2 nwp, — hellicosus (IjVip.), var. max.', O. in- 
(cqiialis (lCaup) = (01.), var. ; Neolucanus baladeva (Hope, Odont.) 
and angulatus (Hope) = /«wm (01.) : Parry, 1. c. 
Cladognathides. 
Parry (/. c. p. 76) unites Cladognathus, . Psalidoremus, Metopodontus, 
Prosopocoilus, Ilomoderus, Ogclommatus, Prisniognathus, Cantharolethrus, 
Leptinopterus, Metadorcus, g. n., and Macrocrates under this head, distin- 
guishing them from the Odontolabides by their eyes never (except in 2 spp. 
of Prosopocoilus) being entirely divided by a canthus, and by the ant. tibiae 
in cf being straight, and the 4 post, tibiae variably armed in ^ and uni- 
dentate (except as above) in ^ • The invariable want of tubercles on the 
head of the female separates them from certain of the Porcidoi, to which they 
appear otherwise closely allied. 
Cladognathus imjwessus, 0. 0. Waterh., is now ascertained to be a Meto- 
podonttis, and is figured pi. iii. f . 1 ; C. A-nodosus,VMXj, = m^clellandi, Hope, 
var. max. ; the $ of Prosopocoilus wallacii, Parry, from Gilolo, is described ; 
P. natalensis, Parry, pi. ii. figs. 6, 9, and P. approximatus, Parry, pi. iii. figs. 2, 
7, are figured, and the Indian locality of P. perplexus, Parry, is substanti- 
ated ; the generic characters of Aulacostethus (0. 0. Waterh.) are discussed, 
and deemed insufficient to remove A. archcri from Prosopocoilus ; Prosopo-^ 
coilus crcnicollis, Thoms ., sms (Hope, Tr. Linn. Soc. nec Cat. Luc.) = 
spencii (Hope), which is figured pi. ii. fig. 1; P. 4k-dens (llo^d) = nntilopu^ 
(Swed.) ; additional characters are given for Ilomoderus (Parry) ; Cyclom- 
matus maitlandi, ,—faunicolor (Hope), var. max. ; Cyclorasis jehelii, 
V Qxry , = Prisniognathus subasneus (Mots.), of which dauricus (Mots.) is $ } 
Metopodontus savagii (Hope) is figured pi. ii., ^ var. min. f. 4, var. max. f. 7 :
