Mr. P. H. Gosse on the Insects of Jamaica. 
bers on the bushes and trees of Greenwich, the residence of 
J. Parry, Esq. 
75. Lachnopus (sp. nov.). Taken near Content rather late in 
May. 
76. Loncophorus (sp. nov.?). Taken on the Hampstead Road 
in June. 
77. Loncophorus (sp. nov. ?). Taken at the same place and 
season as the preceding. 
78. Heilipus (sp. near elegans). Hampstead Road in June. 
79. Polydrusus (sp. nov.). Very numerous on the Hampstead 
Road in May and June; chiefly on the leaves of a spinous-leafed 
Solanum. 
80 to 83. Cryptorhynchus. Pour species. 
84. Sphenophorus sericeus. 
85 to 87. Sitophilus. Three species. 
88. Calandra (sp. near abhreviatd). 
89. Bostrichus (sp. near typographicus). The only occasion on 
which I met with this species was on the dissection of a Chor- 
deiles Virginianus early in May. The stomach was distended 
with these little beetles, to the number of about two hundred, so 
that when turned out, one wondered how they could ever have 
been compressed into so small a cavity. Doubtless this bird had 
found a swarm of these beetles flying high in air, in the evening ; 
for it was soon after sunset that it was shot. 
90. Stenodontcs {damicornis^t). Three or four specimens of 
this Longicorn, the female of which is the largest beetle 1 found 
in Jamaica, occurred in March, April and October. All were 
taken either within or about the house at Bluefields. 
91. Solenoptera fuliginosa (Pabr.). 
92. Solenoptera lineata (Linn.). I suspect that these two are 
but one species, of which the former, destitute of the white 
bands, is the male. Though 1 never found it myself, consi- 
derable numbers were given me at various times in May and 
June, all of which were taken at Shrewsbury, a little below Con- 
tent, The sexes, if such they are, occurred in nearly equal num- 
bers, and were almost invariably found together. 
93. Chlorida festiva. Pound within the house at Bluefields, 
after nightfall, about the middle of May. 
94. Eburia 4^-maculata. 
95. Eburia (sp. near 4<~maculata). 
96. Eburia maculosa. 
97. Eburia (sp. nov.). 
All these species occurred principally on the Hampstead Road 
in June, occasionally also at Sabito, and on Bluefields Mountain. 
I could not call either of them common, with the exception of 
E. maculosa, which, in the localities and at the season just named.
