also figures portions (sometimes the whole insect) of several new species. 
Nicocles (PygosioluSy Lw., nec Hal.) differs entirely from Bradiyrliopala ; 
Dasypogon lucasi and 4-iyiaculatuSy Bell., belong to Dizoyiiay Dasyp. spathu- 
latusy Bell., to Ospt'iocertcs ; Dasyp. magnijicus, Walk., is a Microstyluyn. 
Loew, 1. c. pp. 66 & 68. 
Stichopogon. Schiner, Verb. z.-b. Wien, xxii. p. 74, refers to capture by 
C. Koch, at Niiremburg, of individuals supposed by the latter to constitute 
two new species, but which are evidently considered by Schiner to be sexes 
of one species, the difference in coloration of the mouth-pubescence being 
apparently only sexual ; if these eventually prove sexes of one species, the 
name of the ^ is to stand (C. Koch, ibid.). 
New genera and species : — 
Taracticusy Loew, 1. c. p. 64 (Dasypogonides). Anterior tibiae spined ; 
allied to Dioctria. Type D. 8-punctaf.a, Say. 
BlaXf id. 1. c. p. 66 (Dasyjpogoyiides). Allied to Taracticus and Nicocles. 
B. bellusy id. 1. c. p. 63, Texas. 
Callinicusy id. 1. c. p. 71 {Dasyjpogoyiides). Resembles Diogmitay but with 
spurless anterior tibiae. C. calcaneusy id. 1. c. p. 70, California.
