ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
Ent. Zeits. 1867, p. 109), is Spain, which possesses 22 of the 23 known Euro- 
pean species, whilst 19, or perhaps 20, of these are peculiar to the Iberian 
peninsula. The occurrence of H. cakaratus near Eome is supposed by Kie- 
senwetter to be erroneously reported ; and he assumes that H. armatua will 
be found in Spain, from its distribution in France and North Africa. Of the 
19 exclusively Iberian species (inch H. cakaratus) Kiesenwetter here gives a 
list, with diagnoses of the species described by Jac^uolin Duval in the second 
part of his ^ Glaiiures Entomologiques,' remarks upon other species, and de- 
scriptions of two new ones. H, brachioHs (I)u.Y.)=praticola (Waltl). 
Dasytes. Of this genus Kiesenwetter (/. c. pp. 114-118) enumerates seven 
Spanish species, and characterizes, of known species, Z). mgropunctatus 
(Kiist.) = (Graells), D. terminalis (J. Duv.) = Dasytes X( Waltl) and 
his own D. croceipes. Of the 7 species 3 are new. 
DoUchosoma. Of this genus Kiesenwetter enumerates 3 Spanish species 
(/. c. p. 119). 
Lohmyx ceneus. On the mode of occurrence of this species in Spain, see 
Ifiesenwetter, 1. c. p. 119. 
Saplocnemus. Kiesenwetter (/. c. pp. 119-124) enumerates 12 Spanish 
species, 2 of which are described as new. The following known species are 
characterized : — II. tumidus, cylindricus, albipiUs, limbipennisy and pellucens 
(Kies.), montivagus and consobrinus (Rosenh.), 
Danacea, Kiesenwetter (/. c, pp. 126-127) enumerates 3 Spanish species 
of this genus, and describes D. atripes (Graells) and D. nana (Kiesenw.). The 
third species is new. 
Amauronia hispana (Kiesenw.) is described by Kiesenwetter, 1. c. p. 126. 
Dolichosoma. Kiesenwetter (/. c. pp. 136-140) publishes a revision of the 
species of this genus, and indicates the occurrence among them of well-marked 
subordinate groups, which he distinguishes as subgenera, under the names of 
Dolichosoma (linearey Rossi, simiky Br., JHuniy Fairm.), Dolichophron Qtar- 
iungiiy Woll., and 1 new species), and Psilothrix (scvet'%tmy Kies., femoraky 
^omYf.yproimsumy Gend, mdanostomay Br., smaragdimmy Luc., illustrc, WolJ., 
nobiky 111., and 1 new species). Kiesenwetter further indicates the division 
of the species of Psilothrix into 3 groups. 
Charopua glaber (Kiesenw.) = ZVoy/oys marginalia (Waltl), according to 
Kiesenwetter, 1. c. p. 134. 
Attalua miniatocollis (Tarn.) described and figured by Crotch, Proc. Zool. 
Soc. 1867, p. 387, pi. 23. fig. 6. 
According to Abeille de Perrin (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s^r. vii. pp. 69-70), 
Axinotarsua semilimbatus (Foii'm.) = 3Ialachius limbifer (Kies.), and Antho- 
cornua lateplagiatua (Fairm.) is a distinct species, allied to A. terminatus 
(Men^tr.). 
Malachiua ceneus devours the larva of Meligethes ceneusy according to Schmid, 
Zeitschr. ges. Naturw. xxx. p. 649. Said to injure corn-crops in Austria, by 
Kunstler, Verb. zool. -hot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. pp. 926-928. 
New species : — 
Pecteropua milleriy Wollaston, Col. Hesp. p. 97, Cape Verde Islands (S. 
Vicente). / 
Anthocomua sellatusy Solsky, Horae Soc. Ent. Ross. iv. p. 91, Sarepta.
