manner as not to include the heteromerous forms, N. major and minor being* 
the only species referred to it. It is evident that Linneeus added the hetero- 
merous species to his genus Necydalis merely because he did not know what 
else to do witli them} and at any rate 3Iolorchus (¥i\h^) = Necydalis (Linn, 
ed. 10).] 
Cremys (Pasc.). Pascoe (/. c. p, 316) recharacterizes this genus. 
Pascoe {1. c. p. 319) proposes to change the following generic names em- 
ployed in this group, but preoccupied elsewhere : — Trichoi)honis (Serv.) to 
Crocidastus 5 Petalodes (Newm.) to Anatisis ; and Conoihorax (J. Thoms.) to 
Massicus. 
0. A. Dohrn remarks (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1867, pp. 437-445) upon some points 
in the synonymy of Clytus hieroglyphicus and Cerambyx cerdo and heros. 
With regard to the latter he is inclined to follow Mulsant’s example and to 
apply the name of C. cerdo (Linn.) to C. heros (Scop.), and that of C. scopoli 
to C. cerdo of authors. 
Piirpuricemis harharus and P. dumerili (Luc.) are (S and $ of the same 
species, according to Ernest Cotty. Cotty also notices the habits of Hespero- 
plumes affinis (Luc.) (Mem. Soc. Linn, du Nord de Fr. 1866, p. 176).
