H. E. Gorham, Tr. E. Soc. 1878, pp. 163-167, continues his descrip- 
tions of new genera and species, with notes on the genera and corrections 
of synonymy, referring to the Corynetides, but with a general appendix, 
and another enumerating the species found by Semper in the Philippine 
Islands. Various synonymical suggestions are made. Thanasimus rufi- 
manus^ Gorh., = Aulicus chrysurus, Chev. ; A. ochrurus, Chev., = albo~ 
fasciatus, Gorh., which has priority ; Clerus vulplnas, Gorh., silbermanni^ 
assimilis, semi-ochraceus, and boucardi^ Chev., = mexioanus, Oast. 
Dolichopsis, g. n., Gorham, 1. c. p. 154. Allied to Notostenus (for which 
the correction of Stenonotum is dubiously put forward), but of narrow 
and subcylindrical form, less laxly jointed club to the antennae, and sub- 
rostrate head. For D. haplocnemo [^] des and cyanella, spp. nn., p. 165, 
Cape of Good Hope. 
Thriocera, g. n., id. 1. c. p. 156. More nearly allied to Corynetes than 
to Necrobia, but of different facies and antennal structure (especially as 
regards the apical joint). For Corynetes pectoralis, King (with which the 
author is inclined to join Pylus ^L-maculatuSy Chev., = anthicoides^ 
Newm., of w^ich Clerus scapularis, Chev., is a colour var.). 
Faratillus, g. n., id. 1. c. p. 157. With tarsi indicating affinity to the 
EnopUides, antennae and palpi to the Corynetides. For Clerus caruSy 
Newm., and P. basalis, Moreton Bay, and analis, New Caledonia, spp. nn., 
p. 158. 
Cylidrus sansibaricusy sp. n., Harold, MB. Ak. Berl. 1878, p. 220, 
Zanzibar. 
Opilo eburneo-cinctusy sp. n., Gorham, 1. c. p. 160, N. S. Wales. 
Colyphus limbatuSy p. 161, Venezuela, marginatus and flammeuSy p. 162, 
Mexico, spp. nn., id. l.c. 
Thanasimus pallipeSy p. 162, Philippines, (Kies., MS.), p. 163, 
Nagasaki, id. 1. c. 
Clerus cylindricus, p. 164, concinnus, p. 165, spp. nn., id. 1. c., Guate- 
mala. 
Trichodes davidisy sp. n., H. Deyrolle, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) viii. p. 119, 
Central China. 
Stigmatium cinereuMy New Guinea, Andaman Isles, and ustulatuMy 
Sarawak, spp. nn., Gorham, 1. c. p. 165. 
Lymexylidjj. 
Hyleccetus dermestoides not xylophagous, but predaceous on wood- 
feeding beetles ; A. Puton, quoting Mathieu’s notes from Catalogue of 
objects exhibited by the Administration of Forests at the Paris Exposi- 
tion; Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) viii. pp. cxxvii.-cxxix. 
MicromalthuSy g. n., J. L. Le Conte, P. Am. Phil. Soc. xvii. p. 613. 
Referred here, somewhat dubiously, on account of the resemblance to 
Hyleccetus in the antennae and coxae. Facies of a miniature narrow 
Hydnocera. M. debiliSy sp. n., ibid., pi. xv., Detroit. The larva described 
by II. G. Hubbard, tom. cit. pp. 666-668.
