Harold (Ooleopt. Hefte, v. p. 55) notes that Scarabceus (^Ateuckus) lamarki 
(McLeay),ewyren (McLeay), and a third undescribed species are generally con- 
fused in collections ; he gives diagnostic characters for them, attributing A. in- 
fernalis (King) to the first, A. lamarki (King) to the second, and A. cuprifer 
(Sturm) and lamarki (Oastelu.) to the third. lie gives the following synonymy

made in his Catalogue among the Coprophaga, and, amongst other observa- 
tions on certain of the species, describes tlio J of his own Onthophayus mexi-

is an Ontherus. He gives characters for Gromphas dichroa (Blanch.) and 
certain allied species, and also for Phancmisjasius (Oliv.) and acrisius (McL.),
