Pascoe (Trans. Ent. Soc. London, 3rd series, vol. iii. pp. 497- 
GGO, pis. 20-22), in the completion of his ** Longicornia Ma- 
layana,^’ arranges the Ceramhjcides almost entirely after the 
method of Lacordaire, so far as shown in vol. Tiii. of his 
^ Genera.^ 
The author does not use Lacordaire’s minor divisions of the 
Ceramhycides, and treats his groups as subfamilies. None of 
Legion I., Ceramhycides aherrants, belong to the Malayan 
fauna, which comprises only 7 of the 24 subfamilies of the first 
section of Cohort I. of Leg. II. {C. vrais), IG of the 54 of the 
second section of the same Cohort, and none of the second 
Coliort. 
Pascoe {1. c. p. 608) thinks the extension of Pachydissus (Newm.) given 
by Thomson & Lacord. is untenable, and gives his reasons (p. 618) for not 
following the latter in merging Imhrius (Pasc.) with Dymasius (Thoms.). 
A species of Neoeeramhyx from Sarawak is (p. 610) referred with doubt to the 
N. emcas of Thomson. lie corrects Thomson’s error in stating that the femora 
are not clavato, and that the sutural apex of elytra is bispinous in Lacimopterus 
(p. 623), and finds the tomentose patch on the prothorax of the species of 
Stromatium (p. 531) sectionized by Lacordaire as deficient in that respect 
(except one unknown to him). Thraniiis is stated to be erroneously referred 
by Lacordaire to Australia (p. 563, note). Nitocris (Thoms.) = Dirphya 
(Pascoe), ibid. Nccydalis (Linn.) = Molorclius (Muls., Lac., vix Fab.), 
p. 606, note (cf. p. 602, note). Cylle7ie, Etiri/scelis, Perissus and Sat'osesthes, 
genera included in the Clytides by Lacordaire, are observed (p. 598, note) to 
have (contrary to the characters given by that author for the group) the 
antennne in S nearly as long as or longer than the body, and in one species 
(Cyllene nehidosa) a distinct tooth on each side of the thorax. Eemonax, 
latterly associated by Thomson with Acrocyrta (Pasc.), is, according to Pas- 
coe (p. 020), essentially different from that genus. He thinks Lacordaire 
wrong in omitting both of these from the Clytides and (p. 643, note) gives
