Gorham, H. S. Notes on -the Coleopterous family Cleridce, with de- 
scription of New Genera and Species. Cist. Ent. ii. pp. 57-106. 
The commencement of a useful paper, of which, apart from descrip- 
tion of new forms, the aim has been to indicate the true type of every 
genus and eliminate therefrom all species erroneously introduced. It 
would be impossible to satisfactorily abstract this work, which practically 
consists of corrections as to position, localities, specific value, &c., of the 
species discussed ; but among the more recent synonymy, the following 
may be given :—-Cylidr us pallipes, Ghevi\, alcyoneus,PfisQ., vescoi, Fairm., 
= cyaneus, F. ; Opilio apicalis, White, nec Chevr., renamed wliitii, p. 70 ; 
0. mollis occurs in the Philippines and Japan ; Stigmatium dimidiatum, 
Chevr., = Tillicera mutillicolor, White ; Serriger coffini, White, is not a 
Serriger, but belongs to the Clerides, near Trogodendrum ; 0 madias 
nigro-jmnetatus, Chevr., = medio-fasciatus, Westw.

New genera and species : — 
Gastrocentrum, Gorham, 1. c. p. 63. Tillides : claws bifid, without 
tooth ; no differential characters given. For G. pauper, ibid. Luzon; 
Callimerus, id. 1. c. p. 66. Tillides, but with finely granulated eyes, 
widely separated antennas, and simple 3-jointed club. Type, Clerus 
dulcis, Westw., also Call, mirandas, ibid, p Penang, amdbilis, Laos, and 
gratiosus, Mindanao, p. 66, pulchellus and latifrons, p. 67, Philippines, and 
Lemidia insolata, Pasc. 
Orthrius, id. 1. c. p. 74. Allied to Thanasimus , and in tarsal structure 
to Clerus, but more elongate and cylindrical ; eyes scarcely at all emargi- 
nate. 0. cylindricus, ibid., New S. Wales. 
Metabasis, id. 1. c. p. 75. Differs from Thanasimus in the antennae, 
fi’om Clerus in having only 4 joints visible above in middle and front 
tarsi, and from both in form and sculpture of thorax. Typo, T. accinctus, 
Newm., of which Thaneroclerus medianus, Westw., is the .
