No country has produced inom novelties in every department of Natural History than New Holland ; and the plants and animals of that insular continent, if I may so speak, are most of them of a peculiar character. Even such as are most nearly related to those of other climates usually exhibit some diagnostic that se- parates them from their correlatives, and indicates the region that gave them birth. Thus, the Rhipicere of New Holland are distinguished from those of South Ainerica by the teeth that arm the inside of their mandibles : their Zucani, (L . nebulosus Kirby, a t least,) from those of other countries by their recurwed niandibles and emarginate menturn. Not to mention the differences that separate Anoplognathus from Genz'ates and Ruteka, or 8carabaus prsboscideus from its affinities Sc. naobilicornis, quadridens, &c.

Mr. Brown, (who has so ably illustrated the Flora of Mew Hol- land, and whose observations and discoreries have diffused so much new Bight over the science of Botany,) when in that country did not overlook *its zoological productions, aid amongst other subjects collected many new and singular speeies of insects. Desirous o f having these treasures described, and his time and attentioa,--to the great benefit of the botanical worHd,--being de-

voted

voted to another science; though fully competent to the task him- self, he has requested me to lay a description of them before the Linnean Society, which 1 shall now do to the hest of my ability, adhering to the plan begun in my former paper.

These two sets of characters are designed to point out the differences between two distinct families of Scarubaide that have hitherto been considered as belonging to the same genus. Sc. mo- bz’licorais Linn. (of which Bc. tektaceus Fabr. is only a variety), qua- &dens Linn., farctzis Fabr., Laxarus Fabr., Cyclops Oliv. &c., be- long to one of these families; and SC, Typhceus Linn., dispar Fabr., iliaomus Fabr., stercorarius Linn., fogeatus Marsh., Mutator Marsh., splendidus Fabr., syluaticus Fabr., hemisph~riczas Oliv., and uerna-

6 s

lis Linn., &c. to tlie other. Whoever considers these characters, and compares these sets of' insects with each other, will be immediately convinced that, according to the modern system, they ought to constitute different gcnera. The mandibula of one side (in some the right-hand one and in others-the left) hidentate a t the apes ; m a x i l h with the oiiter lobe truncated at the apex, the inner angle acuminate, and narrowest at the base, and ciliated ; the quadrate entire Inentuni ; and above all the compressed, orbiculate, shining, pnc ta t e , hairy clava of their antennE, the exterior lamella= of which usually inclose the intermediate one as entirely as the valves of a bivalve shell the animal which inhabits it, distinguish the former of these tribes, to which I have long given the generic name of Bolboceras; whereas the other, the true Geotrzcpes, or earth- borer, is remarkable for rnandibuh without teeth; m a x i h e wit a prismatic exterior lobe terminating in a brush of stiff dense hairs ; an orbicular deeply-emarginate mentum ; labium with rounded lobes; and antennz with a subovate clavag the third joint of which is always apparent, and all its joints exhibiting a. downy appearance, but having no hairs. The body of the former also is more hemispherical than that of the latter, and the clypeus is not rhomboidal.

Geotr tps vernulis wenis to connect these two genera; its body approaching to an hemispherical form ; its labrum, though not emarginate, terminating in a concave line ; and its malidibirla3 having two teeth at the end. It differs from both in having the interior tooth the shortest, and the exterior edge of the mandible sinuate. I n most other respects it agrees with 6. stercorarius, &c. I n Bolboceras Cephus the middle joint of the clava of tlie antennze is not so wholly shut up between the two exterior ones as to be entirely hidden by them. In other respects i t agrees with the rest. R4y details of Dolbocerns were taken from B. ~ z ~ ~ ~ r ~ d e ~ ~ ,

and those of Geotrupes from G. stercorarius. I shall now describe a new species of the former gequs from Mr. Brown’s collection*

bs. Porci omnes in apice elytri interrupti sunt. I did not discover that AdeZium caraboidcs had been described

by Fabricius till after the figures ilIustrative of this paper were drawn; and as the insect here given confirms the genus I had laid down in my former paper, and is another instance of its species imitating the form and appearance of the Carabide, I think i t may be interesting to Entomologists, particularly on account of Mr. Curtis’s excellent figure, if I retain it. I hare altered Fabricius’s trivial name, as the insect certainly is neither a Cara- bus nor a Calosoma, to make it harmonize with those of the species before described.

same tribe with this in Mr. Macleay's cabinet with an anal for- ceps, something like that of an earwig,) that is so cvonderfiilfy formed as the species here described. The ventral cavity, lami- n z , and pecten have no parallel that I am aware of in the insect world. These organs are probably for sexual purposes, since the other sex, if I am not mistaken in supposing the variety I have described merely sexual, is without them.

This genus, named long ago, as above, by Mr. MacLeap, con2 nects Cerambzp with Molorchus, Necyclalis, and Zhagium. With, the latter indeed it has little other connexion than from the sirni- lar shape of its elytra, which grow gradually narrower towards the apex ; from Cerambyx it is distinguished by its antennze ; and from Molorchus and Necydalis by its elytra, scarcely a t all shostec than the wings, and by its distichwarnose antennt-e:,-.

The situation of the antennz of the insect from which I liavc formed this genus, agrees with that of Fdgora; but in all the genuine species of the latter their second joint is much larger than the first, globose, and covered with papi lk : whereas in Achilecs it is not remarkably larger than the first, is rather taper- ing, and without papilk. The labrurn also is not separated from the clypeus, except on the sides, by any suture or even impressed line; the thorax a good deal resembles that of Fukora, but it is more completely obtusangular*
