Longicornia. 
Pascoe, in his catalogue of the Longicorns of Penang (Proc. 
Zool. Soc. 1866, pp. 222-267 and 504-536), enumerates 186 
species of these Beetles, 98 of which, or rather more than half, 
are described as new. The collection made hy Mr. Lamb, upon 
which this paper is founded, included 26 more species, probably 
new j but these Pascoe has left un described for the present, as 
some of them are very obscure forms, and others in bad con- 
dition. The species here indicated are referred to 110 genera, 
of which 29 are described as new ; and of the 26 undetermined 
forms, 19 are said to be types of new genera. In his remarks 
on the geographical relations of the Insects referred to, Pascoe 
says that 2 genera are European, with species extending to 
North China {Mesosa andi JEgosoma) ; 6 belong to North China 
and North India {Fraonetlia, OlenecamptuSy AstatheSy PhihiSy 
DerCy and Pyrestes)y the first also Australian; 4 are African 
{CoptopSy Cerosternay GleneUy and Megopis) ; 2 are common to 
Africa and Australia {Xystrocera and Sybra) ; and I {Atimura) 
is confined to the Australian and Malayan regions. Of 72 ex- 
clusively Malayan genera, 8 [OstedeSy EoporiSy AnancyluSy Cacitty 
ClyzomedtiSy Serixitty XyastSy and Merionceda) occur in New 
Guinea. Of 154 genera of Australian Longicorns, 124 are 
peculiar. Pascoe maintains the distinctness, as regards the dis- 
tribution of the Coleoptera, of the Australian and Malayan re- 
gions, the latter having its centre in Borneo, its south-eastern 
limit in Ncav Guinea, and its northern boundaries in the Phi- 
lippines, the south of China, and Burmah. The last two areas, 
with India, arc regarded by the author as transition provinces 
from Malayan to European types. 
Bojas publishes (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. tome vi. pp. 236- 
248) a catalogue of the Longicorns of the province of Caraccas, 
with indications of the habits of the species, and of the precise 
localities in which they are found, the latter rendered more 
valuable by a supplementary statement of the elevations and 
mean temperatures of the different places. The species of some 
of the genera are not determined ; but their probable number is 
stated, and the approximate total number of Longicorn Beetles 
inhabiting Caraccas is stated at 110-120, two-thirds of which 
live in the colder regions. 
Several known species are figured by Pascoe (Journ.Linn. Soc. ix. pls.3&4)
