ENTOMOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE, ETC.

evidently been prepared under the presiding direction of the pro- 
fessor of the university where these authors studied. 
The little work which has given rise to these observations 
consists of four excellent treatises. The first is a monograph of 
the genus Scydmsenus, in which we find due justice done to the 
writings of Kunze, Stephens, Erichson, Sturm, &c., and numerous 
new species added—forty-six species are described, including 
a number from North America, West India, East India, 
Madagascar, Brazil, Columbia, and also including two species of the 
little group which Waterhouse has named Eutheia. 
The second paper contains some observations on the characters 
of the Cremastocliilides—amongst which we find it stated that 
the mesosternum is never porrected in this group, but that when 
there is a sternal process it consists of the porrected metasternum. 
The third treatise contains a great number of critical remarks 
on the nomenclature of the Cetoniidoe. 
The fourth comprises descriptions of ten new species of Cetoniidse 
—namely, Dicranorhina [Eudicella, White] Nireus, from Guinea; 
Gnathocera trivittata, from Caffraria; Scliizorhina Thoreyi, from 
Guinea ; Cetonia spectabilis, from Java ; Cetonia Stahelini, from 
Abyssinia; Cetonia iridescens, from Guatemala ; Cetonia vulnerata, 
from Java ; Cetonia thoracica, from Arabia ; Ischnostoma Raeu- 
peri, from Caffraria ; and Gymnetis atropurpurea, from Brazil. 
Species et Iconographie generique des animaux articules. Par 
M. F. E. Guerin Meneville. 
By a letter recently received from M. Guerin Meneville, I learn 
that the commencement of this useful work has been delayed in 
consequence of the great exertions which have been required for 
the completion of the text of the'“ Iconographie du Regne Animal, 
and the “ Traite elementaire d’Histoire Naturelle” It is now many 
months since M. Guerin kindly sent me a considerable portion of 
the text of the Insect portion of the Iconographie, and if the 
whole is executed on the same plan as the sheets before me, the 
text will be as full of new 7 matter as the plates of that excellent 
work. 
The genera intended to be described in the early numbers of the 
“ Species et Iconographie Generique,” are Rhipicera, Cebrio, San- 
dalus, Atopa, Cladon, Ptilodactyla, Epicyrtus, Eurypalpus [not in 
Dejean's catalogue], Cyplion, Eubria, Scyrtes, Nycteus, Atela 
Phengodes, Amydetes, Rabdota, Nyctocharis, Dadophora, Selas,
