I. A Catalogue of Lucanoid Coleoptera; with Illustrations and Descriptions of various new and interesting
Species. By Major F. J. Sipney Parry, F.LS,
[Read 7th Sept. 1863, 4th Jan., 4th April, 1864.]
Tuat portion of Coleoptera known to Entomologists as the Pectinicornia, and established as such by Dr. Burmeister and Professor Lacordaire, may be formed into two separate divisions, viz. Lucanoidea and Passaloidea. The want of sufficient mate- rial prevents me from submitting any satisfactory observations on the latter division; and I must refer the reader in respect to it to the Monograph of M. Percheron, as also to the several pub- lications of Dr. Burmeister, the Rev. F. W. Hope, Professor Lacordaire, and other Entomologists. I may remark, however, that this division appears to be far from a happy one, confusion and disorganization reigning to a great extent.
The numerous new species of exotic Coleoptera that have of late years enriched our collections, resulting from the indefatigable labours of those enterprising travellers, the late lamented Madame Pfeiffer, Count de Castelnau, Messrs. Wallace, Fortune and Bates, the late M. Mouhot and M. Henri Deyrolle, have enabled us to add considerably to our knowledge of this branch of natural history. Descriptions and figures of many new and interesting

species by several well known Entomologists have from time to time appeared in the Transactions of the Entomological Societies of London and of France, and among the descriptions alluded to I am happy to say that the interesting group of the Pectinicornia has not been neglected. Mr. Wilson Saunders has published, with plates, in the 3rd volume of the second series of our Trans- actions, the characters of several new and rare species from China, collected by Mr. Fortune in his travels through the tea districts of that country, previously unexplored in an entomological point of view; my friend Professor Westwood, in the same volume, as well as in subsequent publications of our Society, has also given some excellent figures and descriptions of numerous new and rare species; and I myself have also had the pleasure of recently sub- mitting to the Society descriptions of several interesting novelties. This considerable increase during the last few years to our Lucanoid Coleoptera, coming chiefly from India, China and the Eastern and Australian Archipelagos, as well as the addition to our collections of various other species heretofore considered of extreme rarity, or known only by indifferent descriptions or still more indifferent figures, has enabled the Entomologist to clear up many points with reference to the identity and localities of the Lucanoidea, and has further given him the opportunity of forming a more just and comprehensive view respecting the ‘very im- portant point of species and variety.
Great confusion has hitherto existed in the synonymy and nomenclature of the different families; with the view, therefore, to its rectification, a newly revised catalogue would, I feel, prove not unacceptable; and by the encouragement and assistance re- ceived from many entomological friends, I have been induced to undertake the present publication. 1 cannot refrain, whilst upon this point, from expressing my best thanks, especially to Count Mniszech, James Thomson, Esq., Dr. Gray, Professor Westwood, W. Wilson Saunders, Esq., A. R. Wallace, Esq., A. Fry, Esq., and J.C. Bowring, Esq., for having most kindly placed at my disposal the various species required for examination.
It would be superfluous here to enumerate all those Ento- mologists, who, either by their descriptions of new genera or of species, have contributed to our knowledge of this interesting group; such descriptions, with the names of the respective authors, will be duly notified in their places in the catalogue, But I think it desirable to allude to those distinguished authors who have more particularly and so conspicuously, by their several publications, advanced our knowledge, with reference more
of Lucanoid Coleoptera. 3
especially to its classification and general arrangement; their names, already familiar to the Entomologist, are as follow :— Latreille (Cuvier, Régne Animal, iv. 576). M‘Leay (Hore Entomologice, i. 195). Westwood (Ann. Sci. Nat. Ser. 2, i. 112 (1834); Modern Classification of Insects, i. 185; Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. iv. 271; N.S. iii, 197). Hope (Catalogue of Lucanoid Coleoptera, 1845). Burmeister (Handbuch der Entomologie, v. 305, 1847). Lacordaire (Genera des Coleoptéres, iii. 1). Brullé (Hist. Nat. des Insectes, tom. 3). Leconte (Classification of Coleoptera of North America (Smithsonian Instit.), p. 120).
The most important collections of the species of this division are to be found in the cabinets of Count Mniszech and Mr. Thomson at Paris (the latter especially interesting as including the species from the collections of Count Dejean, M. Laferté and M. Reiche), in the British Museum, and in the cabinets of the late Rev. F. W. Hope (so liberally presented to the University of Oxford) and Mr. W. W. Saunders; and, lastly, in my own col- lection, which contains, I believe, the largest number of species ever brought together.
With reference to the respective families it is not my intention to propose any very great change in the classification; nevertheless I feel that much in this respect is still required, but it appears to me that the period for such re-organization has not yet arrived, a greater knowledge of species being absolutely requisite for under- taking such a task. Should our collections continue to be en- riched as they have been of recent years, this desirable object might then be successfully undertaken, for I am convinced that it is only by placing before the eye a sufficient series of the insect. to be described (and this is more especially true of the Lucanoid Coleoptera) that a just appreciation of its general form and character can be arrived at. It is vain to expect to ascertain the true characters of a genus until the species shall themselves have been properly established; and the development of species so peculiar in the Lucanoid Coleoptera has but too often given rise to great confusion, specimens having not unfrequently been mistaken by Entomologists as the types of distinct species, and described as such, when in fact they were but varieties of species previously known. As already stated, this, my tribute to the Society, must be considered simply as a rectified catalogue, including notices, descriptions and figures of various new and interesting species:
Ba

as such I trust it may prove useful. Those Entomologists who wish more particularly to study the sectional characters of the various genera and sub-genera must consult the authors previously alluded to. The general arrangement I have adopted has been based chiefly upon the publications of the Rev. F. W. Hope, Dr. Burmeister, Professors Westwood and Lacordaire, combined with certain alterations which it seemed to me convenient to introduce; but as great difference of opinion exists upon this point, the grouping of the various families can scarcely be yet regarded as definitively settled.
Professor Westwood, in his remarks on the sectional characters of the Lucanoid Coleoptera (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. iv. 273), says, “the number of joints in the club of the antenne at first suggested itself, and indeed it had been already proposed by M‘Leay, asa primary sectional character; but this, in addition to the difficulty of its employment, owing to the greater or less development of the joint preceding the clava, was shown to be inefficient, by separating species which agreed together in their entire habitus.” And I may upon this point further remark, that not only this funiculus, but even the very joints of the clava, are variable; instances occurring (especially in the well-known European species Lucanus cervus) where, in the same individual, the clava is found to be both four and five-jointed.
Professor Westwood then refers to the tibial spines as bringing together in the most natural manner the great majority of the species, stating that by the employment of this character the genus Lucanus may be divided into three great groups—
1. Those species with two or three spines on the outside of the posterior and intermediate tibia; this group comprises some of the largest species of the family.
2. Those with only one spine in the middle of the four posterior tibiae in both sexes; comprising the gigantic species of Dorcus from the eastern hemisphere, as well as the small typical Dorci of moderate climes, and the group of £gus, of which no Entomologist has been able to establish suffi- cient characters to separate it from other sections of the Lucanide.
3. An extensive group of species which either possess no spines on the four posterior tibiae, or have one small spine de- veloped in the middle of those tibiz in the @ only.
This character again is, I think, very unsatisfactory, these
spines being often found very aberrant, and, like the claval joints of the antenna, not always to be relied upon; an arrangement
of Lucanoid Coleoptera. 5
based upon it is equally at variance with the natural grouping of species ; for we occasionally find individuals of the same species both with and without their proper complement of spines. Where two species in every respect assimilate to each other except in regard to the spines on the tibia, the absence or presence of these ought not, I think, to separate them.
There are two very remarkable characters of this group hitherto but slightly noticed by Entomologists, which, although not avail- able for the purpose of generical or sectional division, are yet, for the purpose of specific determination, of very great interest. I refer to the development of the mandibles and to the punctuation. The extraordinary difference in the development of the mandibles is not easily to be accounted for; under what circumstances the larger insect is provided with small undeveloped mandibles, and a smaller specimen of the same species with those organs fully developed, must always remain a mystery. But of this I feel certain, that the whole character of numerous species varies (with reference to their punctuation) in accordance with the development of the mandibles. When these have obtained their full growth the sculpture of the species has entirely changed, and in fact frequently disappears altogether; and when the development is but small or moderate the sculpture becomes more definite, often resembling that of the females, in which it is almost invariably stronger; in fact, these small undeveloped males approximate so closely to their females that I could name well-known Entomologists who have been even led into the error of describing them as such. Is it possible that these small males may be found upon closer anatomical examination to be neuters? It is a point of great interest, and well worthy of deeper investigation.
With these facts before me, I have been much perplexed, and have, therefore, abstained for the present from suggesting any decided characters of those new sections. I feel the necessity of such characters being pointed out, but on this occasion my aim is only to present the student with a revised catalogue of the various species, and although errors will doubtless occur, still I trust that my labour may not prove altogether in vain.
Descriptions of New, and Notes on some of the rarer, Species.
The descriptions of some of the species hereafter mentioned have already been published in the “ Proceedings of the Ento- mological Society” for December, 1862, with a view to their in- corporation in the present catalogue; to these are joined others of new and rare species, of which several have been lately added to

our collections, and most of these are illustrated by figures, Having lately returned from visiting the several collections at Leyden, Amsterdam, Halle, Berlin, Stettin and Paris, I have ascertained some interesting points with reference to the synonymy of certain species, and have acquired the knowledge of others previously unknown to me. I take this opportunity of thanking the gentlemen connected with the museums already alluded to for the great kindness and courtesy they respectively evinced towards me when visiting the collections placed under their charge.
CuHIASOGNATHUS LATREILLEI Q, Solier. Reichit $, Thomson. imberbis, Dohrn, MS.
I have no doubt as to the identity of the above (already re- ferred to in my Remarks on Mr. Thomson’s Catalogue of Lucanide, Tr. Ent. Soc. 3rd Series, vol. i. p. 444). Although my collection does not contain this species, | have been able to examine speci- mens of it in the collections of Count Mniszech and Herr Dohrn, at the Jardin des Plantes (Solier’s type) and the Leyden Museum ; all of which accord so entirely with the excellent figure in my possession by M. Migneaux, that I have now no hesitation in unit- ing them.
Curasocnatuus Mniszecui ¢, Thomson. (Pl. X. fig. 3.) ? Jousselinz, Reiche.
Of the identity (although very probable) of these species I am not quite so certain. Single specimens of C. Mniszechii are in the collections of Mr. Thomson, Count Mniszech and M. Ger- main; the unique type specimen of C. Jousselinii is in the collec- tion of M. Jousselin at Versailles. According to a recent com- munication from M. Reiche, the two are to be considered as distinct.
CanTHARoLeTHRUS Luxerit ¢, Buquet. (Pl. IX. fig. 6.)
Whether this unique species is to be placed with the Chiasog- nathide or the Lucanide is problematical; both Mr. Thomson and Count Mniszech have considered it as belonging to the latter family ; the ¢ being as yet unknown, it is difficult to assign its true position. ‘The second species mentioned by Mr. Thomson in his Catalogue, C. Reichii ¢, was originally described by the Rev. F. W. Hope (Trans. Ent. Soc., vol. iv. p. 182, pl. xiii. fig. 3), and placed with Pholidotus; the two species may possibly here- after prove identical.

The general form of the species of this genus exhibits such a remarkable difference from the insects pertaining to the family Dorcide, in which it has been hitherto located, that after a careful comparison with various genera, more especially with Lamprima and Streptocerus (to which the only two species of the genus Colophon, viz. C. Westwoodii and C. Thunbergii, in the form of the prothorax and of the head as well as in the structure of the mandibles, bear, I think, a somewhat striking resemblance), I have been induced to place it in the same family, Chiasognathide, of which it may be regarded as the African representative. I place it in juxtaposition with Streptocerus, which it further resembles in possessing four joints to the clava of the antenne, and thus affords a connecting link with the Lucanide.

8 Major Parry’s Catulogue
Lucanus cervus, Linneeus.
The earliest figure representing this species with which I am acquainted is to be met with in Gesner’s History of Foor-footed Beasts, Serpents and Insects, published by Edward Topsel, in London, 1658. The description is so quaint that I have deemed it not uninteresting to republish it im extenso.
“ Beetles are some greater, some less, the great ones some have horns, others without horns. Those that have horns some are like Hartshorns, other have Buls horns, some have horns in their noses: we shall speak of them all in order. The IlAaruxepwc, or Hartshorn beetle, is called Lucanus by Nigidius ; as Pliny witnesseth. Some call it the Bull, others the Flying Stag: Hesychius cals it axayoc, because it lays hold on things in its way with thorny horns. Cardanus calls it cxcapafedagoc, a word composed of Greek and Latin; Gaza calls it kapafoc; the Italians call it Cereti, and vulgarly Polupeso; the French, Cerf volant; the English, Stag fly or Flying fly; the Hollander, Fliegende Hert; the Ilyrians, Gelui; the Poles and Sclavonians, Krowha Wielk.
“ Amongst all the horned beetles for the shape of its body, length and magnitude, it may challenge the first place, and is the most noted. It is blackish, of a dark red, especially about the outward cover and the breast; it hath two whole horns without joynts, and with branches like a stag as long as ones little finger in such as are grown up, but they are less and shorter in the young ones, (or as Pliny saith) it has long and moveable horns nicked with cloven pincers, and when it will, can bite or nip with them, for it will close them wonderfully, and useth its horns for that end for which crabs and lobsters do their claws; the eyes are hard putting forth and whitish, it hath foreyards on both sides of them, one pair that are branched between the horns and eyes, the joynt whereof makes almost a right angle, and two more breaking forth in the midst of the forehead straight and plain, ending as it were in a little smooth knot.
“It goes upon six feet; the fore feet are longer and greater than the rest. Lonicerus makes this to be the male; but I (if there be any distinction between the male and the female) shall no doubt to call it the female: both because the other kindes of beetles are less (for, as Aristotle observes, the males in insects are far less than the females), an also in copulation the females receive from the lesser as experience confirms it. The male is altogether like it, but is less both for body and in horns: which

though they be not branched on both sides; yet pressed together they do more sharply prick ones finger than the female doth.”
In the Berlin Museum, I lately saw a most interesting variety of this species, the right mandible and the right fore tibia being those of a 2, the remainder of the insect exhibiting the usual appearance of the g; such an interesting specimen of a herma- phrodite insect is seldom to be met with. In the same rich col- lection I also saw the type specimen of Lucanus armiger, Herbst, tab. 34, fig, 1 (var. cervus), the mandibles of which show a very singular case of malformation.
With regard to the various modifications of form exhibited by L.cervus and other allied species of Europe and Asia Minor, see Dr. Kraatz’s paper, with figures, in the Berlin Entom. Zeitsch. 1860.
Lucanvus taticornis ¢, H. Deyrolle, MS.
A description of this new species from Asia Minor will be published during the ensuing year by M. Henri Deyrolle in the Ann. Soc. Ent. de France; it is allied to Z. orientalis of Kraatz, differing, however, in having the 6-jointed clava of the antennze strongly developed, and the mandibles considerably more slender.

Head wider than the thorax, both of a brownish-black colour. Clypeus of a long triangular form, placed nearly perpendicularly, Fore margin of the crown of the head with a singular elevated pro- cess, forming two great lobes, separated by an arcuate line. The mandibles are strong and bent somewhat downwards, armed in- teriorily with five teeth, the one near the tip forming with it a fork ; the largest, near the base, blunt and nodose at the tip; the three others equidistant between the centre and apex. Prothorax longitudinally impressed down the centre; the punctuation of the head and prothorax not very strong. The elytra smooth and polished. The antennz of this fine species are unfortunately wanting, but I have little doubt of the insect being a true Lucanus. I have named it in memory of a gentleman whose services ren- dered to Entomology stand preeminent.

Allied to Z. villosus, Hope. Mandibles subquadrate, outer margin sinuate; beyond the middle a tridentate lobe ; the tip of each mandible furcate. Clypeus triangular, slightly excavated. Base of mandibles, head, thorax and elytra (when in good con- dition) with short scattered hairs. Head with ridges and crest much as in L. villosus, but the lateral ridges not so elevated. Femora and tibie with a ferruginous vitta, widely separated, the posterior with two teeth. I have dedicated this new species to F. Smith, Esq., the well-known Hymenopterist, and President of the Entomological Society.
Lucanus MAcuLIFEMoRATUS, Motschulsky, Etudes Ent. 1861. ? sericans (De Haan, MS.), Voll. Tijd. v. Ent. iv. 103.
Specimens of this new and rare species from Japan are in the museums of Leyden and the Zool. Soc. Amsterdam, @, ¢, and in the collections of Count Mniszech and myself. The habitat Java, ascribed to ZL. sericans by M. van Vollenhoven, appears to be erroneous; the latter insect is probably the var. minor of Lucanus maculifemoratus.
With reference to Lucanus Hircus, Sturm, Cat. (Java), I have not been able to obtain any information.
Gen. Ruxtus, Parry (gen. nov.).
Caput transversum, angustum, antice depressum. Mandibulee falcatee, maximee, ad basin fortiter dilatatea. Antenne clava mediocri quadri-articulata. Prothorax lateribus in medio armatis. Corpus elongatum, subparallelum. Tibize posticze inermes.
Hexarthrio affine genus. Nomen a gigante Rheto, uno e Titanis, derivatum,
The principal distinctive characters above given of this genus . present an interesting connecting link between Lucanus and Hex- arthrius ; on the one hand, the moderately developed clava of its antennee, the flat and generally depressed form of its head, and its unarmed posterior tibia, separate it from Lucanus ; whilst on the other hand it is distinguished from Hexarthrius by the 4-jointed clave of the antenne, and its laterally-armed prothorax.

Closely allied to H. Parryi, Hope, but of a more elongate and slender form. Mandibles straighter, with the interior portion of their base deeply excavated. The binodose elevations on the head of H. Parryi are replaced by two elevated conical tubercles. The prothorax is narrower and longer, with the anterior tuber- cular angle more prominent. The apical yellow plaga of the elytra does not extend so far towards the base; and the punctua- tion of the mandibles, head and prothorax is infinitely stronger ; the legs are more slender.
I am indebted to M. Henri Deyrolle for the characters of this species, at present unique in the museum of Count Mniszech, and received from Count de Castelnau.
Hexarturius Cuauporri, H. Deyrolle, MS.

Black. Elytra of a polished ferruginous brown. Mandibles somewhat flattened, more especially at the base, strongly punc- tured ; tips acute and bending upwards ; a sharp prominent tooth behind the tip, succeeded by a smaller one, and at the base a broad obtusely bifid and slightly elevated process. Head closely punc- tured, with the hind margin highly polished, and two small round anterior depressions on the vertex, very slightly emarginate; clypeus small, deflexed and triangular. The prothorax is about the width of the body; like the head closely punctured, with a slightly impressed central line ; the posterior angles slightly emar- ginate. Elytra polished, ferruginous brown, darkest on the suture and at the sides. Legs ferruginous, margined and varied with black. Tarsi black; anterior tibiz serrated externally with three or four small irregularly disposed spines, the apical tooth very prominent and much curved.
Gen. OvontoraBis, Hope. Anoplocnemus, Id.
The genus Anoplocnemus, Hope (vid. Tr. Ent. Soc. iii. 279), was founded on and included only a single species, viz., 4. Bur- meistert (Hope, Cat. pp. 5 and 16), a gigantic species from the Mysore district, Northern India, at present in the Hopeian Coll. at Oxford (and which may possibly hereafter prove to be only an extreme variety of Odontolabis Cuvera). ‘The principal character assigned to the genus is the absence of spines from all the tibia. As in every other respect there is nothing to distinguish it from the ordinary form and character of the several species belonging to Odontolabis, which, when fully developed, have almost invariably their fore tibia unarmed, I have incorporated Anoplocnemus with Odontolabis, of which genus numerous species have lately been added to our coilections,
I am at a loss to imagine why Dr. Burmeister preferred esta- blishing Anoplocnemus as a genus in preference to Odontolabis, Mr. Hope having notified only one species of the former to fourteen of the latter.

I had originally named the above species after my distinguished friend Professor Lacordaire, whose reputation as an Entomologist is so universal that I need scarcely allude to it. M. Snellen van Vollenhoven, having received from Sumatra a closely-allied species, and being under the impression that it was identical with the above, courteously retained my MS. name in his description of the Sumatran species (vid. Tijd. v. Ent. iv. 104, tab. v. fig. 1.)
The two are, however, totally distinct, and I have great pleasure in dedicating this fine species to a gentleman who has rendered such important services to science as Director of the museum of Leyden, and to whom J feel grateful for his kind attention when recently there.
O. Vollenhovit has the facies of the preceding genus Hexar- thrius, forming the connecting link between the two genera. It differs from O. Lacordairei in the following particulars—the mandibles are more robust, more convex, and more strongly punctuated ; the head is in proportion larger, with the anterior elevated margin slightly sinuated in the centre, and the angle behind the eye is more obtuse; but the principal difference is to be found in the prothorax, which is considerably narrower, with the sides rectangular instead of being dilated, and the posterior angles strongly emarginate; the body is also somewhat shorter.

For the opportunity of placing this magnificent new species of Odontolabis, as well as the three preceding, in the present publi- cation, I am indebted to Count Mniszech, who, through the kind- ness of Count de Castelnau, was enabled to obtain the accompanying faithful figures, executed by M. Migneaux. ‘The above species belongs to the section of Odontolabis having (like O. bicolor, O. Dejeanii, and other species) the prothorax broad, with the sides dilated, and the fore tibize curved; it is one of the largest species of Lucanoid Coleoptera, and, when found with the mandibles fully developed, must indeed be gigantic. It is dedicated to Count de Castelnau, to whom Entomologists are much indebted for many interesting novelties.

The above insect seems to be rather abundant in Ceylon, numerous specimens having fallen under my notice, but those with highly-developed mandibles appear to be scarce. In Sir Emerson Tennant’s History of Ceylon, i. 27, Cat. of Coleop., the name Cingalensis is misprinted Bengalensis: in the same work, the genus Singhala (sp. tenella, Blanchard), belonging to the family of the Rutelide (vid. Cat. Coll. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, part 2,” p- 198), is erroneously placed with the Lucanide.

The sub-genus Calcodes of Westwood (vide Hope’s Catalogue) is incorporated with this sec- tion, the metallic colour of Calcodes e@ratus forming only one of its chief characters,

tarsi are here much shorter. The female has much the appearance of Odontolabis glabratus, De Haan, but the sides of the prothorax are regularly rounded. From Macrognathus, Burm., as well as from Platyprosopus, Hope, Heterochthes differs in having the middle tibize without a central spine, and in the form of the head and prothorax.
This new form affords a proof of the advantage afforded in the classification of the Lucanide by the number of the spines upon the tibiz, especially of the middle and hind legs, as an examination of this character at once leads us to the true affinities of the insect. Instances may indeed occur in which the tibial spurs are liable to be almost obsolete, but the finger will often detect them when the eye cannot clearly perceive them; besides which, of course, this character, like every other, is liable to modification, and is not to be depended upon with absolute certainty, but in a very large majority of cases it truly indicates natural groups.
I am much indebted to Major Parry for affording me the oppor- tunity of examining, describing and figuring this new Lucanoid form, rendered as it is the more interesting by the possession of both sexes, as well as of the minor development of the male sex.

The mandibles in the larger
of Lucanoid Coleoptera. 19
specimens are longer than the head, flattened, curved at the base, and strongly incurved at the apex, the middle part being nearly straight, with a small conical point at a short distance from the apex on the inner edge. ‘The antennz are small, with a three- jointed clava; the maxilla have the outer lobe of moderate length, and strongly ciliated; the palpi have the terminal joint somewhat sabre-shaped; the mentum is very short and broad, with the anterior angles rounded off. The prothorax has the sides straight and nearly parallel, the anterior angles acute, and the hind ones rounded off without any spine or lateral conical point. The elytra are short and ovate, without any longitudinal striz. The fore tibize are rather long, with two teeth on the outer edge, exclusive of the two strong ones at the apex. The four posterior tibiae are destitute of a spine in the middle. The prosternum terminates in a slightly dilated and convex ridge between the base of the fore legs. The tarsi are very short. The mesosternum is slightly channelled along the middle.
The small variety of the male has the head smaller than the prothorax, and the latter comparatively smaller than in the larger individuals, with its sides rather more rounded ; the front margin of the head is somewhat emarginate, and the sides behind the eyes are marked with large punctures; the mandibles are shorter than the head, strongly curved, with a large conical tooth near the base on the inner edge, and the apex obtusely bifid; the mesosternum has also a rather deeply impressed, narrow, punctate channel.
The female has a much smaller head, the canthus forming an angle at the sides in front of the eyes; the front of the head is slightly emarginate, and the clypeus produced into a small quadrate setose lobe; the sides of the head are very strongly punctured. The prothorax has the sides also punctured, and the lateral margin is more rounded than in the male, especially at the pos- terior lateral angles. The elytra have the sides and extremity punctured. The palpi are rather shorter and stronger than in the male, but the tibize of all the legs are spined, as in the other sex.

The species, now amounting to eight in number, which compose this genus, belong to the second section of the genus Odonto- labis of Hope. One of its chief characters is the absence of the spine behind the eyes; it also differs essentially in the size of the mandibles, which never attain to any considerable development, and seldom exceed the length of the head. ‘The species are from East India, China, and the islands of the Indian Ocean.

This genus, to which Dr. Burmeister united Hexarthrius and Cyclophthalmus of Hope, includes a larger proportion of species than any other belonging to the Lucanoid Coleoptera, comprising nearly sixty in number; which, with the exception of a few from the eastern and western coasts of Africa, are all either from India and China, or the islands of the Indian Ocean. It includes also the sub-genera Metopodontus and Prosopocoilus of the same author, both established with reference to the number of spines upon the tibize as well as upon the bimucronated and excavated anterior part of the head.
First, with regard to the tibial spines: these are often found to be most variable, and as generic characteristics are, I think, unworthy of the importance which has been attributed to them, especially as a rigid adherence to such a system necessitates the wide separation of species in all other respects intimately related.
Secondly, with regard to the binodose or strongly excavated character of the anterior portion of the head: this formation is so entirely dependent upon the development of the individual, that it cannot be regarded even as a specific, much less a generic character. I have, therefore, deemed it advisable to unite both Metopodontus and Prosopocoilus with the genus Cladognathus of Dr. Burmeister, which must only be considered after all as a temporary refuge for a vast number of species, forming a peculiar group in this family, and sufficiently aberrant in form and character to justify perhaps their separation into several genera, but our present knowledge of the species is too limited to warrant more than a sectional arrangement.

Female with the head rather coarsely punctured, except on the vertex, which is smooth. Mandibles short, punctured, the left with a tooth a little before the apex, the right with one near the base. Prothorax coarsely punctate, especially at the sides and in front; elytra punctate, having some of the punctures disposed in lines; the external margin of the front tibize crenulated, of the intermediate and posterior armed with a-single spine.
This species was found rather abundantly at New Hebrides, by Mr. M‘Gilleray, the naturalist to the expedition of H. M. S. Herald.
The locality of New Holland assigned to it by Mons. Reiche appears to be erroneous.

On my recent visit to Leyden, having an opportunity of con- sulting the specimens described by M. van Vollenhoven in his interesting memoir above referred to, I ascertained that the insect described and figured by him, fig. 6, as the 2 of T’ragulus is in fact the 2 of D. purpurascens (var. Saiga? ); vid. tab. vii. fig. 1.
There are several specimens in the collection, and M. van Vol- Jenhoven kindly presented me with the one from which the present diagnosis is drawn up. With reference to my description of C. productus 6, as having the intermediate tibiz unarmed, I find, having subsequently examined numerous fully developed specimens, that this is an error, and upon again referring to the type specimen in Mr. Wallace’s cabinet the rudiment of a very minute tubercle, but scarcely visible to the naked eye, is found to

tinguished by the short obtuse posterior angles of the head, the oblique posterior angles of its prothorax, and the well-defined luteous margin of the elytra.
For the figure of this species, and the following description and remarks, I am indebted to Prof. Westwood.*
[This species somewhat closely resembles L. faber, Dej., from Guinea, especially in the toothing of the mandibles, but that species possesses a spine in the middle of the intermediate tibiz. It is most nearly allied to Cl. picipennis, Hope, Cat. Lucan., from Cape Palmas, but the head of that species has the lateral margins behind the eyes only slightly dilated, and the mandibles of the large variety of the male are differently toothed: it has also a triangular point in the middle of the clypeus. The upper surface of the head is opaque, and entirely covered with extremely minute granules (as is also that of the prothorax), the space behind the eyes being strongly punctate. The anterior lateral angles of the head are obliquely truncate, posteriorly produced, somewhat rounded and extending half across the eye: in front of the eye is a moderately raised obtuse tubercle. ‘The anterior margin of the head is bisinuated, the clypeus being transverse, short, with the anterior rounded. The lateral margin of the head, behind each of the eyes, is produced into a rounded lobe. The mandibles are rather longer than the head, somewhat slender, regularly curved, strongly punctured, with an obtuse spine directed inwards beyond the middle of the inner margin; the apex somewhat digitated, with a small subapical tooth, between which and the spine is a broad obtuse tooth, The mentum is of moderate width and very rudely punctured. The prothorax is rather broader and more glossy than the head, with the anterior angles rounded, the sides but slightly oblique and the hind lateral angles obliquely truncate; the sides are broadly dark fulvous, with a very slender raised black margin also extending along the bisinuated hind margin of the prothorax: near the hind angles is a dark lateral spot on each side; the scutellum is very finely punctured, as is also the base of the elytra. ‘The latter are very glossy, almost quite smooth, very dark chestnut down the middle, with a broad lateral border of fulvous, the extreme lateral margin being raised and black. The legs are pitchy black, with the femora castaneous, the fore tibize are serrulated along the outer edge and armed with three stronger teeth at the apex, the four posterior tibiz are des- titute of a spine in the middle of the outer margin, The body

the Rev. F. W. Hope nor Dr. Burmeister was acquainted with the veritable male of Erichson’s species, which is now described for the first time, and which differs essentially from C. cavifrons (var. max.), Hope, by its broader and more convex form, the highly polished dorsal patch on the elytra, and in the structure of the mandibles, which in the insect now under consideration are some- what broader, strongly curved at the apex, destitute of the flat basal tooth, and instead of the group of subapical teeth only, as in C. cavifrons, are armed with a stout tooth placed a little above their centre, with four or five smaller ones between it and the apical tip; some of these teeth, however, may be more properly called nodose elevations. ‘The anterior tibize moreover are straight, and not curved as in C., cavifrons.
The female is equally to be distinguished from that of C. cavi- frons by its more robust and convex form ; the anterior tibize are considerably more dilated, their outer edge also strongly denti- culated ; the four posterior tibia, like all the females of this genus (with the exception of C. cavifrons), are armed with a single spine,

The only two specimens of ZL. tenuipes, Hope, with which I am acquainted are in the Hopeian Collection and the British Museum, and were obtained by Mr. Cuming during his visit to the Philip- pines ; after careful examination, I have satisfied myself, from the general sculpture of the head and the short strongly-punctate mandibles, that both these specimens are females; but from the remarkable slenderness of the anterior tibiae, and from the absence of spines on those of the four posterior legs, they have somewhat the appearance of males with short undeveloped mandibles. The specimen described by Mr. Hope is somewhat darker than that of the British Museum, assimilating more in colour with the male, which is chestnut-brown. While, on the one hand, the unarmed tibize of the four posterior legs would assign tenwipes to the genus Odontolabis, in which Mr. Hope placed it, its slender fore tibiz and general structure of body place it indubitably with those in- sects which belong to the genus Cladognathus, and I am strongly inclined to believe that it is the ¢ of C. cavifrons.

CLADoGNATHUS SENEGALENSIS, Klug. Lucanus Senegalensis ¢, Klug, Erm. Reis. Atl. 38, 103.
Dr. Burmeister in his Handbuch der Entomologie, v. 371, gives this insect as synonymous with Zwcanus Antdlopus ¢, Swederus (Act. Holm. 1787, iii. 186, tab. viii. fig. 3); in this I do not feel disposed to agree, since Swederus describes the prothorax of his species as “ lateribus subrotundatis,” and figures the four posterior tibiae as being unarmed—characters quite at variance with the true Lucanus Senegalensis of Dr. Klug, a spe- cimen of which from my own collection I have recently compared with the typical insect in the Berlin Museum. ‘This species is readily distinguished in having the posterior angle of the pro- thorax strongly emarginate, as well as the anterior angle of this emargination being armed with a small acute spine ; hence Mons. Gory applied the specific epithet of bispinosus to the female (according to a specimen so ticketed in the Oxford Museum). The mandibles are nearly straight in all their different developments, and the four posterior tibia are armed each with a single spine. As regards the veritable Z. Antilopus of Swederus, I am inclined, from the description as well as from the figure, to refer it to Lucanus quadridens, Hope (var. minor), with which it agrees in the form of the mandibles (representing evidently those of an undeveloped male, and characterized as such by the description *‘mandibulis capite vix longioribus’”), in the posterior angles of the thorax being rounded, and in the absence of the spines from the four posterior tibie; although I must remark that in fully developed individuals a minute tubercle is occasionally seen on the intermediate tibia. These spines or tubercles on the tibiz, however, are, as I have already had occasion to state, most capricious, depending considerably, as to their size, and even for their very existence, on the maturity of growth the insect may arrive at, and can in no way be relied upon either specifically or generically.
In respect to the L. Antilopus, Burm., Hand. der Ent. v. 371, this insect may possibly be identical with Z. Senegalensis, Klug, but as no mention is made of the posterior angles of the prothorax being rounded or emarginate, or of the existence or non-existence of the spine alluded to by Dr. Klug, it is difficult to fix exactly the species to which it ought to be referred. If identical with Senegalensis, Klug, it certainly is not the Antilopus of Swederus; and should it bea more fully developed specimen of Antilopus, Swed., (as the mandibles are described as being as long as the head and
of Lucanoid Coleoptera. 35
body together) it will then, I think, prove, as intimated above, to be synonymous with ZL. quadridens, Hope, a specimen of the latter in my own collection corresponding so exactly with both the description and figure of Swederus that it makes me very much disposed to unite them together,

In the female, which sex alone was known to Mr. Hope, the anterior tibize are curved exteriorly, whence the specific name ; those of the male however are but very slightly curved. The small lateral spine existing on the prothorax of the male is often very indistinct in the female; the rudiment however of it is mostly to be traced. ‘The peculiar formation of the mandibles in the present insect, and its small size, render it one of the most con- spicuous species of the genus in which, for the present, lL have placed it.

the posterior angles of the prothorax, in which respect it agrees with Luc. punctiger, Hope (Cat. Lucan. p. 24; Linn. Trans. xviii. p- 592), but which differs from the present species in the elytra being destitute of costz, and in its much less strongly punctured prothorax. The type specimens of the last-mentioned species are females, and are regarded with considerable probability by Major Parry as the other sex of LZ. bulbosus, Hope, which, with other African and Indian species, constitutes Mr. Thomson’s second section of Prosopocoilus.
The head is very rudely punctured on the upper side; the anterior lateral angles are obliquely rounded off; the clypeus forms a bilobed projection ; the mandibles are rather small, acute at the tips, with a tooth beyond the middle of the inner margin; on the middle of the crown are two irregular smooth patches, and there is a somewhat elevated space between each eye and the base of the antennz ; the eye is divided through its anterior half by the sharp curved eanthus. The mentum is short, almost semicircular, and rudely punctured. The maxille are short, the inner lobe termi- nating in a sharp, hooked spine (a character also found in the female of Pr. Martini, Hope, an African species of this sub-genus). The labium is terminated by two elongated, strongly-setose lobes, and the labial palpi are rather long, slender, and with the terminal joint thick and ovate. The prothorax is strongly punctured, the sides are rounded and slightly serrulated, the posterior lateral angles are obliquely emarginate. ‘The elytra are elongate, some- what parallel, each with three strong coste, the middle one interrupted near the shoulder; between the raised suture and the first costa are two slender lines edged with punctures, and the interstices between the costee are very closely and finely punctured. The extremity of the elytra is also very thickly punctured. The body beneath is but slightly punctured, except at the sides of the metasternum and apical segment of the abdo- men. The fore tibiz are armed with five teeth, of which the two at the apex are the largest, and the four posterior tibize have a spine in the middle of the outer edge of each.

Allied to C. faber, Thomson, but is at once distinguished by its larger size and less glabrous character ; it differs further in having the mandibles somewhat less curved, the sides of the pro- thorax straighter, and the absence of the small spine at the pos- terior angle. It belongs to that section of the African species of Cladognathus remarkable for the falcate form of the mandibles (which in fully-developed males are only armed at the apex), and in having the head furnished behind the eyes with a small obtuse tooth.
The female, as is frequently the case in other allied species of this genus, is more polished than the male, and has considerable affinity to the @ of C. quadridens, Hope, Cat. p. 14.
With the exception of a small species of Dorcus, D. adspersus, Boheman, recently described and figured by Professor Westwood (Trans. Ent. Soc., 3rd Ser., i. 435, pl. xvi. fig. 6), this is the only species of Lucanoid Coleoptera received in the numerous collections that have of late been transmitted to us from that rich entomological district of Africa, Port Natal. It appears in some of the continental cabinets under the manuscript name of C. Vescoi.

The above insect, unique in the Hopeian Cabinet, was captured with other interesting species by W. Griffith, Esq., F.L.S., in the Assam district, and placed by the Rev. F. W. Hope in his Cata- logue together with Lucanus bulbosus (also described in Tr. Linn. Soc. xviii. 589), in the sub-genus Macrognathus, immediately preceding the sub-genus Platyprosopus, both of which sub-genera appertain to the family Dorcid@, and are respectively identical with the genera Hemisodorcus and Eurytrachelus of Mr. Thomson’s “Catalogue of the Lucanide.” JL. bulbosus, Hope, a not very

uncommon species, has very properly been removed by Mr. Thom- son tothe genus Cladognathus, to which, from its general structure, it has evidently a much nearer affinity, and, as regards the other species, L. Spencii, the typical example of which is now before me, there appears to be but little doubt as to its being the var. max, of L. bulbosus, its chief characteristic consisting in a greater development of the mandibles and head, the former being con- siderably longer than the latter, arcuate, forked at the tip, and exhibiting in a slight degree only at their base the peculiar bulbose structure of the minor form, but still sufficiently apparent to trace the affinity.
Individuals of the var. max., or those presenting an extreme development of the mandibles, are but of rare occurrence among their respective species; and as regards C. bulbosus, of which numerous specimens have fallen under my notice, the present case is the only one I have met with. The name of one of our most celebrated Entomologists has been maintained, not only in right of priority of publication, but also in deference to his memory.

In a former communication to the Society, I mentioned the affinity of this insect with Mesotopus Tarandus: subsequent inves- tigation, however, leads me to place it near Cladognathus, and to refer it more particularly to the African species C. faber, C. Na- talensis and C. modestus. It resembles these in having the head broad and armed behind the eyes; the mandibles slender and faleate; the legs likewise slender; the anterior tibize of the females slightly curved and not dilated as in Mesotopus, and the posterior tibize of the males unarmed.
Nevertheless, the wide and strongly produced emarginate clypeus, the short, broad form and polished fulvous colour of the elytra, as well as the sinuated character of the sides of the pro- thorax in both sexes, amply justify the creation of the genus pro- posed, which may be placed after Cladognathus.
This new and interesting insect was kindly presented to me by Mrs. Melly, and was unique in the magnificent collection of the late Andrew Melly, Esq., of Liverpool, to whose memory I have dedicated it. Another specimen has recently been received by Andrew Murray, Esq., from Old Calabar.

Since the publication of my description above referred to, I have ascertained that C. @neomicans is but a minor variety of _ L. metallifer, Boisd. (loc. cit.), the type specimen of which is in the Museum of the Jardin des Plantes; the female, however, had not previously been described. With reference to the armature of the tibize of the females in this genus, Mr. Hope was evidently in error in characterizing them as having the four posterior unarmed (vid. Cat. p. 5); the contrary is found to be invariably the case, each of them being provided with a single spine.

Allied to both C. Tarandus, Thunb., and C. Mniszechii, Thoms. (comparing specimens of similar development); from the former it is at once distinguished by the pale chestnut and non-zneous colour of the elytra, which are somewhat broader and shorter, and, further, by the totally different armature of the mandibles ; from the latter by its larger head, and shorter and less convex elytra; and, finally, from both by being clothed with griseous scales, in which it assimilates with C. Dehaanii, Westw. I must, however, remark that the sparse distribution of the scales in the specimen described is probably attributable to attrition. There is an insect in the British Museum from the Philippine Islands to be referred to this species.

This insect belongs to the second section of the genus, which may be characterized as “ griseo-squamose;” it approximates somewhat in general appearance to C.

This interesting new species is allied to C. platycephalus, Hope (vid. Westw. Or. Ent. p. 17, pl. villi. fig. 2), but is abundantly distinct; it differs in the form of its mandibles (which in C. pla- tycephalus are of a peculiar structure, and described by Professor Westwood as being short and palmated), and in its elongate nar- row elytra, which are also more strongly punctured. The ¢, as in C. platycephalus, is of a darker colour than the é, and, com- pared with the same sex of that species, presents the following differences: the head is broader, with the vertex depressed, more sparsely punctuate, the angle in front of the eye more produced, the two nodose elevations on the centre being entirely wanting ; the prothorax is also wider and less punctate, and the elytra longer and less convex. The Rev. F. W. Hope in his Catalogue refers C. platycephalus to his sub-genus Cyclophthalmus ; Mr. Thomson has, however, appropriately made it the type of his new genus Cyclorasis, whereof we are now acquainted with three distinct species. The above insect originally formed part of Mr. J. C. Bowring’s rich collection, and has been named after M. Jekel, the well known author of a Catalogue of the Curculionidae,

Gory, it is reasonable to suppose the synonymy to be correct, more especially as Count Dejean places the species in the genus Psalicerus, a genus closely allied to Macrocrates.

Whether the given habitat of Java is correct admits perhaps of some doubt, as specimens of both sexes have lately been received from Borneo, and no other specimen from Java has ever fallen under my notice; it may, however, notwithstanding be indigenous to both islands, The male is now for the first time described and figured.
In general form and structure of its mandibles, this species assimilates somewhat to Eurytrachelus, differing however in its narrow subparallel form, and in having the lateral margins non- sinuate; in this respect being more in accordance with Hemiso- dorcus, Thoms., in which for the present it is located, with (Cladog- nathus) gracilis, Saund., and piceipennis, Westw.

{This curious insect differs so much from the other groups of Lucanide as to have rendered necessary the establishment of a new genus (a sub-genus) for its reception.

Anteus, Hope, &c., it is distinguished by the structure of the anterior emarginate part of the head, and the peculiar denticulation of the flattened mandibles. From QOdontolabis (L.

There ought to be no mistaking the two species, according to the description of the mandibles of D. Chevrolatii, “ arcuatis, in medio intus lato dente armatis, et pone hunc setosis” (vid. Cat. p. 20). This last cha- racter is not alluded to in the description of D. Tityus ; it most decidedly does not exist in the insect itself, and is peculiar to D.

The tibice appear also to be shorter, with the tarsi more slender; the

Through the kindness of Mr. James Thomson, who has placed at my disposal for examination several interesting types of species belonging to the late Count Dejean’s Collection, as well as of others lately described by himself in the Catalogue of Lucanidz and forming part of his own rich collection, I am enabled to clear up many points of interest with reference to the synonymy of certain species. As regards D. Axis , there can be no doubt, as already noted by Dr. Burmeister (vid. Handb. v. 385), that it is the var. minor of D.

Handb. v. 387, the description of the following characters in the Jatter species exhibiting such a marked difference from D. Amis as to render the identity of the two species most improbable. They are as follows:—the mandibles are described as forked at the apex, and armed interiorly with two to three teeth placed at sepa- rate intervals, the interior sides clothed partially with a thick silky pubescence (as in LZ, Sazga), and the antennz want the two slender hairy filaments preceding the clava, which are prominently to be recognized in D. Aais, Titan, Saiga and other species of this group.
M. Reiche (ubi sup.) is probably correct in regarding D, eury- cephalus, Burm., as identical with Z. Bubalus, Perty. This latter species is referred to by Burmeister as the var. min. both of D. Bucephalus and of D. Saiga (vid. Handb. v. 385, 388). I have not seen the type specimens of either Bubalus, Perty, or Euryce- phalus, Burm., and feel doubtful whether they are a distinct species, or only the var. min. of one of the allied species.
M. Reiche further states the 9 of D. Axis to be D. exaratus, Dej. Coll. Count Dejean’s specimen of the latter now belongs to Mr. Thomson's Collection, and was lately described by that gentleman in his Catalogue of Lucanide, p. 426; it is now before me, and is clearly identical with Dorcus lineatopunctatus of Mr. Hope’s Collection, described in his Catalogue, p. 23;
of Lucanoid Coleoptera. 49
but whether it may be regarded as a distinct or as the minor variety of an allied species appears to me uncertain, not being acquainted with a sufficient number of specimens to enable me to form any decided opinion for the present. I incline to regard it as the var. min, of LZ. Tityus, Hope.

In reference to the citation of the LZ. inermis of Fabricius as sy- nonymous with the present species, I would offer the following remarks, prefacing them with that author’s description.

Dr. Burmeister is evidently of opinion that the species in question is a female, and belongs to the family Dorcide. The mandibles, however, are so distinctly described as ‘“ exsertis inermibus,” and such a structure is so utterly at variance with the general character of the females of this family, which are in- variably found to be provided with a small internal tooth on their mandibles, that considerable doubt arises whether Dr. Burmeister’s opinion that the Fabrician imermis is the female of D. Saiga, Oliv., is correct. M. Reiche, in his critique upon Dr. Burmeis- ter’s work (vid. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. vol. i. Ser. 3, p. 80), holds a contrary opinion. The specimen in the Hopeian Collection was received from Mr. Westermann of Copenhagen as inermis, Fab., and proves upon examination to be identical with the female of D. Saiga, thus supporting Dr. Burmeister’s conclusion. If the determination of the species by Mr. Westermann were founded upon an actual comparison with a specimen of it in the old Fa- brician Collection (still existing, I believe, in the Museum at Copenhagen), it is manifest that the original description would be erroneous, as a small tooth is unquestionably present in the insect received from Copenhagen. It must, however, be remem- bered that Mr. M‘Leay, in his Hor. Ent., cites Luc. inermis, Fab., as belonging to the genus Agus, although no allusion to it

Dorcus Ktuen ¢, Thomson, Cat. p. 424.
After a careful examination of a series of specimens of the above insect from Assam, I feel satisfied that it must be con- sidered as the var. max. of D. Dehaani, the ¢ and Q of which species were originally described by Mr. Hope in the Trans, Linn. Soc. vol. xix. p. 106; the latter name will therefore be retained. The punctate-striate character of the elytra in the females of the genus, of which the small undeveloped males par- take, is strongly illustrated in D. Dehaanii. Some faint traces of this character are to be remarked in the var. max., described for the first time by Mr. J. Thomson.

Elongate and narrow; mandibles shorter than the head, slightly curved, grooved above with a small tooth within near the apex.

Prothorax and elytra of the same width, indistinctly but coarsely punctured on the sides. Scutellum triangular, sparsely punctate. The anterior and pos- terior tibize slightly curved, the latter unarmed.
While, on the one hand, the general form and tuberculated head of the only specimen of the present species which has hitherto come under my notice are almost essentially characteristic of the female sex appertaining to this genus, on the other hand, the slender anterior, and the unarmed posterior, tibiz are so utterly anomalous, as to leave some doubt whether it be really a female, or a male with short undeveloped mandibles ; an acquaintance with both sexes might perhaps remove it to the genus Eurytra- chelus ; for the present I have placed it with Dorcus.

The above named insect was described by Professor Westwood from the collection of the Rev. F. W. Hope, who obtained it from that of M. Gory, with the habitat of New Holland. If the speci- men I lately inspected in the Hopeian Museum at Oxford is the insect in question, and I have but little doubt of its being the original type, it must be quite evident that some confusion has arisen with reference to the locality, as I believe it to be iden- tical with Agus cicatrosus 2, of Wiedemann, a not uncommon insect from Java, which is the female of gus acuminatus of Fabricius,

From the short unarmed mandibles, the above species may possibly represent only a var. minor; in more fully developed individuals, the mandibles, as in all the species of this genus, will probably be found to be denticulated ; in all other characters it evidently belongs to this genus. I am indebted to Professor Dehaan, of Leyden, for its possession.
Aicus cicatricosus, Wiedemann, Zool. Mag. II. i. 108 (Lucanus).
From the description of this species there is no doubt (although no allusion is made to the sex) of its representing a ¢, and there is further every reason to suppose that Dr. Burmeister is correct in referring it to Ag. acuminatus, Fabricius. Count Dejean, in his Catalogue, regards it as a distinct species, and M. Reiche takes the same view (vid. Ann. Soc. Ent. Ser. 3, vol. i. p. 82), stating both sexes to be in Count Dejean’s Collection, but I am not aware upon what ground M. Reiche supposes the ¢ to which he alludes to be that of cicatricosus of Wiedemann, considering that one sex only is described by that author, and that, as already stated, is evidently the @.
I have now before me the typical specimen of Count Dejean’s Collection (belonging to Mr. James Thomson); it is the var. minor of Agus chelifer, M‘Leay, from the Malay Peninsula.
The locality of Java assigned to Count Dejean’s specimen is, I I have no doubt, erroneous; I am acquainted with many large

As regards the descriptions of Weber and Fabricius of this insect, their extreme conciseness precludes the possibility of re- cognizing with any certainty the species alluded to, the habitat Sumatra being given by both authors; Dr. Burmeister, 1. ¢., records the species as distinct, from Java as well as from Sumatra, placing it next acuminatus of Fabricius, which belongs to that sec- tion of A’ gus having the head in front (in fully developed males) armed with a tubercle; according to Dr. Burmeister’s description, this character does not exist, and the insect in question must be considered as an undeveloped male, but whether to be referred to Agus acuminatus of Fabricius or to be considered as a distinct species is, I think, somewhat problematical. The extraordinary variation of character exhibited in a series of specimens of the same species in this genus renders it most perplexing to recognize with any certitude their identity from description only.
ZEcus Kanpiensts, Hope, Cat. p. 6.
The type specimen in the Hopeian Collection (% var. minor) is referred by Mr. Hope in his Catalogue as a variety of 4. ctca- tricosus, Wiedemann. (‘The insect in Mr. Hope’s Collection under the name of cicatricosus, Wiedemann, appears to be only the var. minor of acuminatus, Fabricius.) Having examined a nu- merous series of the various developments of this insect from Ceylon, as well as others closely allied to it from the Philippines and Borneo, I find so much affinity existing in general character with such a perplexing variability of sculpture, that it is almost impossible to arrive at any definite conclusion as to whether the specimens from Ceylon, Borneo and the Philippines are to be considered as geographical varieties of 4g. acuminatus of Fa- bricius, or to be regarded as distinct to be united under the name of Kandiensis, There is certainly one character to be remarked in the numerous specimens examined, viz., that the interior tooth of the mandibles (which appears to exist in all fully developed males of this section of the genus) is placed slightly above the centre and not near the base as in 4g. acuminatus ; in this respect
54 Major Parry’s Catalogue
it accords with 2g. chelifer (var. max.), but is readily distinguished from this species by the strong and coarsely punctured lateral margins of the elytra. Under the circumstances I have united the Ceylon, Philippine and Bornean insects under the name of Kandiensis, Hope.
/Aicus CHELIFER, M‘Leay, Hor. Ent. i. 113.
A specimen of this insect is in the British Museum, received from Mr. M‘Leay, with the habitat of Australia on the label; I have always had considerable doubt as to the locality, no other recorded specimen from that continent having ever fallen under my notice; and I am now convinced that the habitat given is erroneous, for the insect has recently been received with its various developments by Count Mniszech and myself, both from Cambodia and the Malay Peninsula,* and proves upon comparison to be identical with Mr. M‘Leay’s species in the British Museum.
The insect described by Mr. M‘Leay evidently represents the var. minor of the species, but specimens of the var. max. have been received from the localities above stated, possessing the tuberculated front to the head as noticed in Ag. acuminatus (in minor developed specimens this process totally disappears), the mandibles being also armed in their interior with a tooth, but placed invariably slightly above the centre and not near the base as in acuminatus; the sides of the elytra are also apparently smooth, whereas in the var. max. of acuminatus they are strongly punctate. Allusion has been already made (ante, p. 52) to the identity of this species with Agus cicatricosus 6 of Mr. Thom- son’s Collection (olim Dejean), and to the uncertainty, as men- tioned in Dejean’s Catalogue, of Java being its true locality.
The insect in the Faune de I'Ie de Woodlark, p. 27, under the name of Agus chelifer?, M‘Leay, probably represents the var. minor either of 4g. insipidus, Thomson, or of platyodon, Parry, both species having been recently received rather abundantly from New Guinea and Celebes.

Habitat in India orient. septentr., Darjeeling. Mus. Parry. The general colour is black, the elytra alone having a slightly pitchy tinge. The head and pronotum are very delicately granu- lose, and consequently subopaque ; the elytra glossy, with rather deep striae formed of confluent punctures. The head and pro- notum especially are much flattened. The fore margin of the former is rather deeply emarginate in the middle, the emargi- nation terminating in a produced point at each end, beyond which the front of the head is nearly straight, the lateral angles rounded off, the canthus cutting the eye into two parts (fig. 5a), and the sides of the head behind the eyes slightly produced into a rounded tubercle; between the eye and the frontal spine is, on each. side, a small rounded but very slightly raised tubercle on the dise of the head. The clypeus is quite simple in the middle; the man- dibles are half an inch in length, they are armed near the base on the inner edge with a small conical tooth, and rather beyond the middle with a strong tooth porrected obliquely forwards. The mentum is very broad and short, deeply emarginate in the middle, where it is depressed so as to meet the depressed centre of the clypeus and close the mouth in front ; the sides, however, are sufli- ciently open to allow the extraordinarily developed outer flattened lobe of the maxillz to lie exposed on the underside of the base of the mandibles, figure 5c representing the mentum with the exposed lobes of the two maxille, the maxillary palpi and the terminal joint of the labial palpi in situ; whilst fig. 5d represents the Jabium and labial palpi detached from the inner side of the mentum, the palpi even here being of unusual elongation. This structure I have observed in no other Lucanideous insect to such an extent as here occurs. The antenne have the 7th joint pro- duced into a point on the inner edge and armed with a bristle; the three terminal joints are short and broad. The dise of the head behind the eyes and along the posterior margin is finely punctured ; the prothorax is wider than the head, the lateral mar- gins nearly parallel, armed near the anterior angles with a small prominent angular projection; the sides, as well as the anterior and posterior margins, are strongly punctured ; in the middle is a slightly impressed and punctured space, and within each of the
56 Major Parry’s Catalogue
posterior angles is an oval polished patch. The elytra and scu- tellum are punctured at the base; the former are punctate-striate, the 2nd and 7th, 3rd and 4th, and also the Sth and 6th strie being united at their extremities. The anterior tibiz are serrated along the outer margin, with two strong teeth at the apex; the middle tibiae are armed with two spines, and the posterior ones with a single spine in the middle of the outer edge.
This species is most nearly allied to Dorcus capitatus,* Westw. (Trans. Ent. Soc. iv. 275), but differs from the large males of that species in the much-advanced position of the strong tooth of the mandibles, and in the very slight development of the tubercle on each side of the disc of the head before the eyes ; agreeing in this respect with D. parallelus, Hope (Cat. Lucan.), from the Khasyah Hills, whilst Major Parry’s insect is from Darjeeling. The D. parallelus is indeed considered by Major Parry to be a small variety of D. capitatus; but the latter is from Malacca and Prince of Wales’ Island, and I should be inclined to regard D. parallelus rather as the varietas minor of D, labilis. D. sinister (Hope, Cat. Lucan.), also from Prince of Wales’ Island, is, doubt- less, the female of D. capitatus, as Major Parry suggests. 1 have also scarcely any doubt that the female insect named D. Malaba- ricus (Hope, MS.; Westw. Trans. Ent. Soc. iv. 276) is identical with D. sinister ; and in like manner I also consider that D. equals (Hope, MS.; Westw. Trans. Ent. Soc. iv. 276) is most probably identical with D. parallelus,
D. labilis is also closely allied to D. Eschscholtzii, Hope, but that is a considerably smaller insect, with a more polished upper surface, the anterior lateral angles of the head destitute of tubercles, and the pronotum destitute of the punctured impression in the middle.

I am indebted to M. Fairmaire for the addition of this new species (of which I have also seen a specimen in the collection of Alexander Fry, Esq.) to my cabinet ; it is allied to S. femoralis, Guérin, but at once distinguished from it by its more depressed and less punctate elytra and less rounded apex of those organs, the more clearly defined and narrower longitudinal pale yellow lateral vitta above mentioned, and, finally, by the legs being black instead of rufous. The female, as is usual in this genus, differs in having short, coarsely punctate mandibles (which, in the pre- sent instance, appear to be totally unarmed), and in the minute size and strong punctuation of the head,

This new species differs from Scl. Lessonii, Buquet (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. = Pycnosiphorus mandibularis, Solier, Gay Nat. Hist. Chili), in its uniform black colour, in the elytra being destitute of the numerous elevated polished spots between the punctures, the prothorax not widened in front, the head narrower, the clypeus not porrected into a rounded lobe in the middle, the crown of the head wanting the auriculated process on each side between the eyes, and in the different shape of the mandibles. The prothorax has a deep central channel, terminated in the middle of the fore margin in a small conical point. The underside of the body is glossy, with a few minute punctures, the head, including the mentum, being more strongly and closely punctured. The fore tibiz have six teeth on the outer edge, and the four posterior tibia are each armed with two spines on the outer margin.—J. O. W. ]

A description and figure of the above species (from Port Natal), by Professor Westwood, will be found in the Trans- actions of the Society (1. c.) It appears, upon examination, to be so very aberrant in general form and character from those insects belonging to Dorcus proper, that I have no hesitation in proposing it as the type of a new genus; but as we are only acquainted with the female sex, it is unadvisable for the present to give any decided characters ; nevertheless the short mandibles, the abbreviate and convex form, the squamose texture of the body, with its rounded and anteriorly trituberculate prothorax, sufficiently warrant the creation of the proposed new genus. The above characters distinguish the insect from those smaller species of the Dorcide appertaining to the genera Sclerostomus and

Lissores Menatcas, Westw.
This species appears to form the connecting link, through the genus Nigidius, between the Dorcide and Figulide.
L. Honittanus, Westw., exhibits a marked difference from I. Menalcas in the character of the prothorax; but its similarity to that species in other respects, and its close affinity in appear- ance to Nigidius, have induced me to locate it for the present at the end of the genus Lissotes, immediately preceding the Figulide.

A second description of this species will be found in the Ento- mological Magazine, vol. v. p. 264, by Prof. Westwood, taken from a specimen in the British Museum, stated to have been received from Mr. M‘Leay, and from Australia. Having long doubted the accuracy of this habitat, no specimens of it being contained in the numerous collections of Australian Coleoptera which have reached this country, I have only recently ascertained the true habitat of the species in question, specimens in the collections of W. W. Saunders, Esq., and of Count Mniszech, from Cambodia and Malacca, proving, upon comparison, to be identical with that in the British Museum.

This species is readily distinguished by its short, robust and convex form, and by the absence of the minute tubercle in the centre of the anterior margin of the prothorax which characterizes most of the allied species. ‘The number of external spines on the tibiae appears to be most variable in this genus; no instance, however, being known to me in which they are entirely wanting.
PENICHROLUCANUS coPpRICEPHALUS, H. Deyrolle, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. Ser. iv. vol. 3, p. 485; pl. ix. fig. 11, and details.
The aberrant characters exhibited in this singular insect from Malacca (vid. ]. ¢.), recently described from a unique specimen in Count Mniszech’s Collection, preclude the possibility of assign- ing, with any degree of certainty, its true position in the Luca- noidea. It is even, I believe, still a matter of doubt among many Entomolegists whether the species in question ought to be referred at all to this division of the Coleoptera. I have nevertheless placed it temporarily near Figulus, bearing, as it does, some similarity to the species of that genus, and equally, perhaps, also to the genera Nigidius and Agnus, the latter appearing to form the passage between Nigidius and Figulus.

The type specimen of the above-named species from Mada- gascar has obligingly been communicated to me for examination by Mr. Thomson. It appears to me to be specifically identical with F. anthracinus, Klug (vid. Ins. v. Madagase. 85, n. 116), differing only in the confused position of the punctures forming in the normal state the dorsal striz by which the elytra are characterized. Mr. Thomson (p. 402) appears to be of the same opinion with Dr. Burmeister as to this species being synonymous with Fig. sublevis of Palissot de Beauvois, from Africa, and noticed by Professor Westwood, as a distinct species, in the Ent. Mag. v. 262, sp. 3. If the several specimens received from Senegal, Guinea and Bassan are identical with Palissot’s insect, it is very evident, upon comparison with the Madagascar species, that the two are distinct.

The present briefly-described insect appears to be allied to F. Manillarum, Hope (angustatus, MS., Eschscholtz), and like that species varies considerably in sculpture according to development, rendering it difficult in a single description to characterize the different stages of its growth.
F. scaritiformis appears, however, to differ in having the elytra somewhat shorter and more depressed, the sides of the prothorax more coarsely punctate, and the central longitudinal channel longer and deeper, its punctuation also being more defined. Since my first notice of this species, several specimens of it, in the various stages of development, have been received from the same locality.

Whether the description above quoted of an insect, stated to be from North America, can be considered as applying to a distinct species, admits perhaps of some doubt, no other specimen having been recorded from that country. Allusion is certainly made to it in Melsheimer’s Catalogue of the United States Coleoptera, but on Palisot’s authority alone.
Dr. Leconte also, in his Classification of the United States — Coleoptera, mentions further that he is totally unacquainted with it. I feel, therefore, inclined to believe, from the description as well as from the great similarity of the figures given in Palisot’s work to our own European species, that Sinodendron cylindricum has been erroneously described as a distinct species under the name of §. Americanum; but not being acquainted with the type specimen, the present remarks can only be taken therefore as conjecture.

to some of the sub-genera belonging to the Dynastide, and already alluded to by various authors, renders it somewhat perplexing to assign for it any satisfactory place among the Lucanoid Coleoptera.
Mr. White (1. ¢.) remarks that this insect approximates both to Lamprima and Rhyssonotus. Professor Westwood, in his notice of the species (vid. Tr. Ent. Soc., N.S., vol. 3, p. 213), regards it as an obscure representative of Sphenognathus, with the mouth of a Sinodendron, alluding at the same time to the female as being apterous; and, finally, Monsieur Lacordaire, in his invaluable work on the Genera of Coleoptera, to which I have already had such frequent occasion to allude, although placing it with the Lamprimide, mentions that from the remarkable character of its legs the species appears to be rather allied to the Dynastide than to the Lucanide. In this view I am disposed to coincide, but have nevertheless, under the circumstances, placed it provisionally at the end of my arrangement, immediately after the genus Sino- dendron, thus establishing the connecting link between the Luca- noid Coleoptera and the Dynastide.
Norr.—At one or two recent meetings of the Entomological Society, ‘“ di- morphism” or “‘ polymorphism” has been the subject of discussion. This singular phenomenon is very marked in the Lucanoid Coleoptera; and the existence of diverse forms of the same species, often exhibiting dif- ferences in their structural characters, renders necessary an acquaintance with a series of varieties of each separate species before we can arrive at a correct classification of this interesting group.—F. J. S. P., May, 1864.
