the sides. The species of this genus would then be JV. cassus, serius, and 
exiiius (Newm.). N. amictus (Newm.) is unknown to Pascoe ; and N. hlan~ 
dus (Newm.) is a Sphcet'ion. Pascoe gives a list of the species which he 
refers to Sphcerion as restricted by him, and characterised as follows (/. c. 
p. 478): — antennae elongate ($ equal to body), joints 3-C or 7 spinose; 
prothorax subdepressed ; posterior tibiae subconipressed, spurred. Pascoe 
states that Appula (Thoms.), including Mallocera lateralis and undalans 
QN\\iiQ)^8tkocera (Serv.).-^ili. ehurioides (White) is better placed in the 
vicinity of Eburia) and M, obliqua (Pej.) forms the genus Hurysthea

Clytus. Kraatz remarks that C. trifasciatus (Fab.) does not occui* in 
Hungary, where it is represented by a nearly allied species. C. ccyyptiacus 
(Lap.), for which Laporte gives Hungary as a habitat, is said to be a variety 
of C. trifasciatus. Kraatz seems to imply that the Hungarian species is C. 
cegyptiacus \ it is also found in the Greek archipelago. C. bruchii (Kraatz) 
=tC. caucasicus (Motsch.). Berk ent. Zeits. 1866, p. 300. 
Kraatz maintains (Berk ent. Zeits. 1866, p. 370) that the genera JBrachy- 
pteroma (Heyd.) and Dolacerus (Muls.) are identical, and that the species B. 
ottomanum (Heyd.) = -D. reichei (Muls.) and Molorchus midsanti (Stierk). 
The eyes are not sensibly emarginate. 
Pascoe remarks (Ent. Trans. 3rd ser. v. pp. 290-291) on the distinctive 
characters of the genera CluiriSy Odontocera, and Acyphoderos,

and genera of this group : — Deuteromma testaceum (Pase.) j Pseudoleptara

[Phoracantha.) Pascoe remarks (Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. p. 98) 
that tlie genus Phoracantha (Newm.) now includes a hetero- 
geneous assemblage of species, which he proposes to divide into 
the following genera : — 
Phoracantha (Newm.). Head not elongated behind eyes, forehead short, 
broad at apex; antennae with subterete joints, 3-6 spinose at apex; pro- 
thorax spinose at the sides ; anterior tibiae straight. Sp. Stenochorus se?ni- 
pimctatus (Fab.) «&c. 
Eptithoraf g. n., Pascoe, 1. c. Head elongated behind eyes, forehead short, 
narrowed at apex; antennae with cylindrical joints, 3-7 with a strong- 
spine at apex ; prothorax with the sides uneven ; femora thickened in the 
middle ; anterior tibiae curved. Type Stenochorus dorsalis (MacLeay). 
Callirho'e (Newiii.). Forehead rather short, narrowed at apex ; antennae 
^vith joints 3-6’ or 7 spinose;' femora elongate, strongly clavate; prothorax 
tuberleiilate. Sp. Stenochorus biyuttatas (Don.) &c.
