Tlie genera Odontolnhis and Anoplocnemm of Hope are regarded by Parry 
as forming only a single genus Q. c. p. 12), for which he retains the former 
name ; but the second section of Hope’s genus Odontolahis has been gene- 
rically separated by Thomson under the name of Neolucanus, and this divi- 
sion is accepted by Parry (1. e. p. 20). 
Parry also (1. c. p. 21) unites Hope’s genera Macro ffnathuSj 3fetopodontus, 
and Prosopocoilus with the great genus Cladognuthus (J3urm.), which, how- 
ever, he regards as only provisional. Cladognathus lafertei (Reiche) is from 
the New Hebrides and not from Australia (1. c. p. 24). Parry (1. c. p. 34) re- 
gards Clad. {Lvc.) sctiegalensis (King) as distinct from Lncanm antilopm 
(Swed.) with which Burmeister united it, and indicates that the C. antilopus 
of Burmeister, if really a more fully developed specimen of L. antilopus 
(Swed.), is probably also identical with L. quadridens (Hope). 
According to Parry (/. c. p. 39), his Cyclom7natus ccneomicaris is identical 
with Lucanus metallifer (Boisd.). 
Parry also states that Doj'cus hlugii (Thoms.) is the large variety of D. 
dehaanii, Hope (/. c. p. 50), — and that Doi'cvs P luteus (Westw.) is probably 
the same as A^gus cicah icosus (Wiedem.), which is the female of IJ. acumi- 
natus (Fab.), as stated by Burmeister {1. c. pp. 51 & 52). 
Cladognathus dorsalis (Erichs.). The male is described by Parry, 1. c. p. 31. 
The male of C. curvipcs (Hope) is also described, 1. c. p. 36. 
Parry states that Ceratognathus punctaiissimus (Westw.) is identical with 
C. wcstwoodii (Thomson), and Sinodendron ? areolatum (Westw.) with 
Ceratognathus helotoides (Thomson). Proc. Ent. Soc. Lond. 18G4, pp. 6 & 8. 
Parry (Ent. Trans, vol. ii. p. 0) describes a specimen of Lucaims cervus in 
the Berlin Museum having the righ t mandible and fore tibia as in the female, 
and the rest of the insect presenting the ordinary appearance of the male. 
Stierlin describes a Sicilian variety of Dorcus paralklopipedm, which forms 
a transition towards I), musimon. Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 18(34, p. 147.
