unnaturally separated from Hypocephalus.] Mr. Newman has 
subsequently published a proposed distribution of the Coleoptera 
into four, or rather seven, stirpes; one, Coleoptera Macrocera, 
composed of four divisions; Cerambycites, an entire group; Curcu- 
lionites, Criocerites, and Cucujites, each of the last three being 
stated to be composed of two sub-groups ; making seven in all. 
The Cucujites being composed of Trogosita, Passandra, Cucujus, 
Pakestes, Brontes, Parandra, Hypocephalus, Rhysodes and Cupes,and 
leading to Trictenotoma, Lucanus, and Passalus, among the Coleo¬

has been long engaged upon the investigation of the Longicorn

of that group, brought from the Philippine Islands by Mr. H. 
Cuming, and now in the collection of the British Museum), has sug¬ 
gested to me that the name of this species cannot be maintained, 
there being already an insect of the genus with the same name, [See 
Lap. Hist. Nat. Col. 2, p. 459, C. leucospila,] I, therefore, propose 
to alter the name of the Philippine species to C. albo-notata.
