ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
The Berytida constitute a distinct family in classifica- 
tion (/. c. p. 119). 
Mayii also (Reise der Novara, Zool. ii. Hem.) adopts the same divisions, 
but gives the name of Corizida to the second. The following previously de- 
scribed species are figured by him : — Acroelytrum muricatum (Mayr), tab. 2. 
fig. 10 ; Amorhua rohustus (Mayr), fig. 17, wliich appears to be a true Mictis) 
Euthochlha (Cor'cus) galeator (Fab.), fig. 18 (head) j Athmimastus (^Crinocerus) 
liigens (St§,l), fig. 19 j Metapodius viercur (Mayr), fig. 21 ; Odontoparia nico- 
barensts (Mayr), fig. 22 ; Theognis erythrimis (Mayr), tab. 3. fig. 24 ; T. ptd- 
cher (Mayr), fig. 25; T. ingens (Mayr), fig. 20; Cehrenis colorata (Mayr), 
fig. 27 ; C. clavicornis (Mayr), fig. 28 ; and Catorhintha pallida (Mayr), fig. 29. 
Most of these species are also described, and Mayr fully characterizes the 
genera of which he published diagnoses in the Verhandl. zool. -hot. Ges. in 
Wien for 1805 (see ‘ Record,’ 1805, p. 095). 
Mictides. 
Pachylis. According to StM (Berl. ent. Zeits. 1800, p. 158) Thunberg has 
described P. laticornis (Fab.) under the following names : — Pendulinus stri- 
atus, hipunctatus, hidentahis, gigas, and grossus. 
Derepteryx (White). StSl makes this genus include Petascelis bilobus (Sign.), 
Cimex falx (Drury) = P. lunatus (Sign.), Mictis alata (Westw.), M. rothii 
(Dali.), and M. foliaceipes (StSl). Hem. Afr. ii. pp. 13-10. 
Petalops elatus (Fab.) = Cimex thoracicus (Thunb.) according to StSl, Berl. 
ent. Zeits. 1800, p. 168. 
Crinocerus. Mayr (1. c. p. 87) objects to the suppression of some of the 
genera of Amyot and Serville made by the Recorder in 1852, and maintains 
that the species referable to Crinocerus as defined by Burmeister constitute 
several genera, which he tabulates as follows^ : — 
I. Marginal furrows of the tylus running backward from its apex past the 
antenniferous tubercles to the forehead, of uniform strength. 
A. Antero-lateral margins of pronotum toothed. 
* All the femora strongly tubercular ; shoulders rounded ; abdomen 
with curved lateral margins Euthochtha (Mayr). 
t Only the posterior femora tubercular ; shoulders pointed ; lateral 
margins of abdomen parallel. 
a. Pleurum with no tubercles or lobes above the posterior coxae. 
Crinocerus (s. s.). 
b. Pleurum with a tubercle or lobe above the posterior coxae. 
Hymenophora (A. & S.). 
B. Antero-lateral margins of pronotum not toothed. 
* Antenniferous tubercles contiguous ; joint 1 of antennae longer than 
2, 3 cylindrical Athaumastus (Mayr). 
t Antenniferous tubercles distant ; joint 1 of antennae shorter than 2, 
3 somewhat compressed Thlasto corns (g. n.). 
II. Marginal furrows of tylus terminating before the antenniferous tu- 
bercles.

called analytical method.
