PUYTOPHAGA. 
Baly lias commenced the publication, in the Entomological 
Transactions, of a revision of the Malayan species of Phyto- 
phaga, with reference chiefly to the results of Wallace's investi- 
gations. The Entomological Society has set aside a volume for 
the reception of this memoir (3rd series, vol. iv.), as in the case 
of the Longicornia described by Pascoe. Of this, the first part, 
including the Criocerides and a part of the Chrysomelides (Cly- 
thridee and part of the Cryptocephalidce), was published last 
year. The author describes or characterizes all the species, but 
gives no characters of the genera except of the new ones. The de- 
scriptions of species in many cases are quoted from Lacordaire. 
The Chlamydece of Lacordaire are raised by the author to the 
rank of a distinct family, equivalent to, and intermediate between, 
the Clythridai and Cryptocephalidce. 
Hamlet Clark has also commenced the publication of a 
Catalogue of Phy tophaga, with descriptions of many new species 
by himself and H. W. Bates. The first part includes only the 
Criocerides.
