and/wscMS (with 3 vars,), p. 70. 
Ptilodactyla. Chevrolat, 1. c., describes the following new spp. from Cuba : 
— P.ramicornis and simplex [an $ prtBC.?^, p. 70; emarginata miA. annuli-- 
cornis^ P- 71 ; militaris and carhonaria, p. 72. 
Malacodermata. 
Lycides. 
Chevrolat (Ann, Soc. Ent. Er. 4® s^r. x. p, 73) considers that four dif- 
ferent species have hitherto been confused under the name Calopteron (Lycus) 
bicolor, and that the older authors erroneously attributed the group to Africa, 
as it actually belongs to the Antilles. He shortly describes type C. hicolor 
(L.), and redescribes C. hicolor (Lap. nec L.), from St. Domingo, not Cuba, 
under the name dominicense (ibid.) ; hicolor (01. nec L. ; ? Lycus militarisj 
Dalm.), from Jamaica, under the name denominaium, p. 74 ; hicolor (Duv. 
nec L.), from Cuba, under the name nigritarse, p. 77. The author also de- 
scribes six other recorded spp. of the genus from Cuba.

thahnus, and (p. 119) Bmplectus pectinatus (F. ncc L.) io fahricii. 
Calopteron. Kirsch (B. E. Z. xiv.) describes the following new species : — 
C. melanurus and nigricauda, p. 377, posticus and melanoxanthus, p. 378, 
thoracicus, p. 379, ocularis, p. 380, Bogota (the last queried as doubtfully 
belonging to the genus). 
Calopteron pectinicorne, sp. n., Chevr. /. c. p. 74, Guadeloupe; C. (P) se^ni^ 
jlavum, sp. n., Chevr. 1. c. p. 78, Cuba. 
Dictyoptera porphyrophora, sp. n., Solsky, Hor. Ent. Boss. vii. p. 366, E.

Eros antennalis, sp. n., Kirsch, 1. c. p. 381, Bogota. 
Lampy rides. 
Gemminger (C. H. vi. pp. 119 & 120) makes the following alterations in 
nomenclature : — Lucidota compressicornis (Sol. nec F.) to depressicornis ; L. 
dimidiaiipennis (Luc. nec Duv.) io semicolor’, Photinus alhilateris (Mots, nec 
Gyll.) to albolimbatus ; P. cinctus (Mots, ncc F.) to circumcinctus ; P. intcr^ 
ruptus (Mots, nec Er.) to divisus’, P. lucifer (Er. ncc Melsh.) to erichsoni', P. 
infuscatus (Mots, ncc Cast.) to intercalatus ; P. linearis (Blanch, nec Latr.) to 
longus', P. calif ornicus (Mots. Cat. ncc Etud. ent.) to reversus’, P. vittatus (F. 
nec 01.) to vitiosus ; P. vittiger (Lee. 7iec Gyll.) to zonatus ; Aspidosoyna laterale 
(Boh. nec F.) to limbatum ; A. ynacxdatum (F. nec Deg.) to sticticum ; Lam- 
pyris fuscipennis (Boh. nec Gu^r.) to melanoptex'a ) L. nigj'ipetinis (Boh. nec 
Mots.) to nigrita] Lxiciola apicalis (Boisd. ncc Eschsch.) to dejeani’, L. ma- 
culicollis (Mills, et Wach. ncc Cast.) to macidithorax. 
Cladoceras should not be referred to the Lycides, but to the Lampyx'ides, 
next before Calyptoccphalus, Gray : Kirsch, B. E. Z. xiv. p. 381. 
Luciola italica. Targioni-Tozzetti (Bull. Ent. Ital. ii, pp. 177-189, tav. 
i. & ii.) enters minutely into the structure of the photogenic lamellae of this 
sp., giving highly magnified drawings of the component cellules &c. 
Photinus pyralis (L.) is figured in its chief stages with detail, and particu- 
- lars of its economy are given, in Anier. Ent. i. p. 19, f. 9.
