the ScaionomidcR by Lacordaire, belong to the Ateuchidesj aa also probably 
Odontoloma (Boh.), unknown to the author. The South American Pedarim 
are nearly allied to Chceridium, and should form a distinct genus beside it. 
Of the genus CantJiidium (Erichs.), as above restricted. Von Harold de- 
scribes 61 species, of which 60 are new j C. lentum and thalassinum (Erichs.) 
are imknown to him, and he reprints their diagnoses (1. a.) p. 60. Other known 
species referred to this genus by the author are : — Copris sulcata (Pertjr), C. 
decor ata (V exty) = Canthmi scapularis (Cast.), Coprobius thalassmus (Sturm) 
changed to Canthidium smaragdinum^ Cliocridium punctdto-striatum 
(Sturm) changed to lucidum, Scarahactis mdlanoccphalus (Oliv.), Onthophagus 
onitoides (Perty), Cliceridium nitidmn (Blanch.)*, Copris rujicollis (Germ,) = 
Onth. cruentus (Perty), Chccridium collare (Cast.), and AteuchuS chrysis 
(Fab.). • 
In a supplementary paper (Col. Hefte, ii. p. 61) Von Harold describes 
lentimt (Erichs.), and mentions that Choeridium viride and viroscens (Lue.) are 
very nearly allied to C. sulcatum (Perty). He also gives additional notes ein 
the following species : — C. smaragdinunij obscurumy auricollcy kiesenioetierij 
kraatziy la^vigaUimy versicolor y dispar y lucidum (Harold), onitoides (Perty) with 
which Chcerid, trituhercidatum (Luc.) is identical; C. lugnhre (Harold)= 
hrem (Germ.); C, mcestum (Har.); C. lehasi and glohulum (Har.); C, 
{Ateuchus) humerale (Germ.) ; C. collare (Cast.) ; C. aterrimum, picipes 
(Har.) ; C. muticum (Boh.) ; C. rutilum (Har.). 
Of Caccobius (Thoms.), with which the uncharacterized genus Histeridium 
(Motsch.) is identical. Von Harold describes (Col. Hefte, ii. pp. 1-16) 14 
species, 7 of which are new. The known species are Scarabeeus schreberi 
(Fab.), Onthophagus mundus (IMen^tr.), O. histeroides(}lL^nQir.') = anthracinus 
(YvXd.)—nigellus (YAemrm.), Atc^icJms ateirimils (Fd\).),0.fidiginosus (Roth) 
— tigreanus (Harold), Copris vulcanus (Fab.), and O. nigritulus (King). 
Onthophagus. Von Harold has published (Col. Hefte, ii. pp. 23-69) a re- 
vision of the species of this genus, whick he regards as including the genera 
ChalcoderuSy PsilaXy Monapus, and Phalops (Erichs.). He describes a good 
many new species, and remarks on the known species and their alliances. The 
following synonymic indications may be cited: — O. laminatus (MacL.) = 
capella (Kirby) ; O. erichsoni (Hope) belongs to the group named Psilax by 
Erichson ; O. jiavolineatus (Blanch.) —posticus (Erichs.) ; O. cupreoviridis 
(Blanch) =amsom*ws (Erichs.); O.furcatus (MacL.) = cem«s (Hope)=«?^n- 
tus (Erichs.) ; O. rubrimaculatus (^IxixAj.^^quadripustulatiis (Fab.) ; Scarab, 
bipustulatus (Fab.) is described, p. 34 ; O. capella (Boisd.) = (Gu4r.) ; 
O. collaris (F^x.)—loricatus (Klug) ; O. aulicus lJP&hv.')'=^lanista (Cast.); O. 
worsissa (Roth) includes 2 species, namely O. tubei'culicollis (Cast.) and 
ivorsissa (Roth), characterized by Von Harold (pp. 40, 41) ; Scarab, tridens 
(Fab.) is ah Onthophagus here described (p. 46). At pp. 46, 46, Von Harold 
gives a list of the Abyssinian species of this genus, of which he enumerates 19. 
Von Harold (Col. Hefte, i. pp. 73-76) remarks upon and explains the confu- 
sion that has arisen with regard to two species of Gynmopleurus described re- 
sptictively by Wiedemann and MacLeay under the name of O. mundus. Wiede- 
mann’s species, from the East Indies, waS tlie first described ; it was subse- 
quently described by Castelnau under the name of G. capicola (Hope). For
