Chrysomelides, 
Monachus. Suffrian (Linn. Ent. xvi.) refers to variations of 
the following previously known speeies of this genus : — M. ge- 
mellus (Suff.)j p. 7 ; consimilis (Dej.), p. 8; pygidialis (Sutf.), 
p. 9. Clythra bipustulata (Fab.) is also referred to this genus 
by Suffrian (/. c. p. 481), as also Cryptocephcdus juvenciis (Oliv.). 
Cryptocephalus, Suffrian (Linn. Ent. xvi. p. 18) cancels the 
second llotte of this genus, as established by him {pp. cit. 
XV. p. 181), the species described as belonging to it (C.prceustus, 
Suff*.) being a native of Madagascar. He proposes here a new 
second group, including a new species [C. abho7'rens). Suffrian 
also notices the ^ of C. bis-seplemgultatus (Suff‘.), l.c, p. 26; 
states that his C. flagitiosus is identical with (7. nigroplagiatus 
(Guer.) from Tahiti, p. 31 ; indicates a variety of C. viridi- 
ceneus (Boh.), p. 53; gives a diagnosis of C. pusio (Suff.), from 
Venezuela, Cuba, and Porto Uico, p. 54; notices a large ? of 
C. (Bnescens (Suff.), p. 55; and indicates the characters of the ? 
of C. siccus (Suff.), p. 63. 
The following recorded species are mentioned by Suffrian 
(/. c. pp. 479-483) as unknown to him : — Crypto cephalus lincatus, 
modcstuSy impressus, obliquuSj cinctuSj limbatus, and glabralus 
(Fab.), longimanus and juvcncus (Oliv.). C. longimanus is pro- 
bably a Scoloch7'uSj and juvcncus a Monachus. C. dubiusy sa- 
licns, and saltator (Fab.) probably belong to the Halticides 
(p.483). 
Scolochrus (Suff.) . Suffrian, in his monograph of the South 
American Crypto cephalides (Linn. Ent. xvi. pp. 69-247), de- 
scribes 94 species of this genus from various parts of that con- 
tinent. The previously known species are only 6 in number, 
namely P achy br achy s hyacinthinus (Erichs.) , argcntatus (Erichs.) , 
Cryptoccphalus perlatus (Oliv.), triguttatus (Fab.), Sc. cazicus 
(Suff.), and Pach. pallidilabris (Stal). The remainder are de- 
scribed as new, but it will be unnecessary to cite them all here. 
A new species from Mexico, S. indigcstus, is also described, 1. c. 
p. 79. Cr. longimanus (Oliv.) also probably belongs to this genus 
(/. c. p.482). 
Suffrian (Arch. f. Naturg. 1860) remarks upon the characters and varia- 
tions of the following known species of this group occurring in Oiiha : — 
CuLAMYS conifera and Jlavicollis (Lac.), Cryptocepiialus o'cnulatuSy gros- 
sidus, curtuSj rusticus, hicinctusj hypocritcij tibielbts, pictuSy pusioy diveSy sanciusy 
epMppiumy vinidusy ruhetra^ tortuosuSy censoriuSy b-pimctatuSy complancduSy and 
cylindricus (Suffr.), cJdoroticus (Oliv.), marginicollis (Latr.), ruhrofasciutus 
(Chevr.), rujitarsis (Klug), viridipennis (Lej.), and azureipennis (Ohevr.), 
Mastacanthus insidaris (Suffr.), Pachybrachys tostusy conglomerakiSy and 
2 mmicatus (Suffr.), Colaspis smaragdxda (Oliv.), and My^ochrous duhim 
(Ram. de la Sagra). 
Sulfrian puhlishes a note in correction of an error in his memoir on the 
Chrysomelcc of the Oreina group (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1800, pp. 97-99). Ilis
