The author, who formerly monographed the Mutillidce of the old 
world, is now of opinion that a knowledge of the sexual armature of the 
males is indispensable to the correct discrimination of the species, and in 
this memoir describes and figures the structures in such species as he still 
possesses. He recommends that they should be made transparent by 
treatment with caustic potash. He gives a nomenclature of the parts 
illustrated by woodcuts, pp. 4-6. He adopts Blake’s genera Sphceroph- 
thalma and Agama, and adds 3 new ones, besides describing a considerable 
number of new species.

The author distinguishes four entomological zones of altitude, corre¬ 
sponding with four very distinct geographical regions, and mentions some 
of the characteristic forms of each. The zones are :—1, Saharian ; 2, 
Senegalian; 3, Ethiopian ; 4, Subalpine—this latter being remarkable 
for the great affinities its insects present with those of the Alps and 
Py renees; there being, moreover, a few forms of American affinity.

The generic nomenclature is also reviewed at length. The chief 
synonymy mentioned is given hereafter ; but it is very complex, and 
reference to the original work is recommended. »

These cases, formed by a Homopterous insect, resemble shells. The 
name of the species making them is not mentioned, but it is said to be a 
Ptyelus.
