This treatise was issued with and forms a part of vol. xv. (.-=s 3rd 
series, vol. iii.) of “L’Abeille.” The subject is treated in an able 
manner ; each species being described at some length, with bibliography, 
synonymy, and tables for the discrimination of such genera as contain 
numerous species. An appendix refers to doubtful or unknown species, 
and in it De Marseul reproduces the descriptions of Wollaston’s Madeiran 
and Canarian species, and also of some of Motschoulsky’s. A Catalogue 
and alphabetical index complete the work. Among the synonymical and 
other observations, the following occur : — 
Malachius nitidicollis, Chevr., = Cyrtosus corniculatus, Ktz., $ ; Oogines, 
Muls., is not entitled to generic rank, and 0. signicollis^ Muls., = Mai. 
bicolor ^ Perr., = C. longicollis^ Ei\, var. ; M. armeniacus, M(5n., = geni- 
culatuSj Derm., var. ; Antholinus, Pelochrus, Nepacfiys^ and Sphingmus, 
Muls., are sunk in Attains ; Attains luxnrians, Er., = erythroderus, Er. ; 
Anthocomus transfnga, Kies., = Att. nonrrecheli, Cast.; Colotes anthi- 
cinus, Baudi, = Antidipnis flavo-cinctus, Mars., var.; C. hampii^ Redt., 
= maculatns^ Cast., var. 
Malachins foveifrons^ Kies., = prolongatus, Mots. ; E. v. Harold,

New genera and sjpecies : — 
Peyron, 1. c. describes the following: — 
Psiloderes, p. 223. Facies of Anthicus or Ptinus [!] ; nearer Charopus 
than Troglops ; head of $ cornuted, apex of elytra simple. For Charopus 
formicarius, Rche. & Saulcy. 
Embrocerus, p. 225. Analogy with Charopus, but with the head of $ 
much enlarged between the eyes and deeply excavated in the middle, and 
last joint of maxillary palpi sharp at apex. Apparently allied to Cepha- 
loncus and Condylops. For E. variegatus, p. 227, Balbek.
