Catalogue of Insects, collected by Captain King, R.N.

BY WILLIAM SHARP MAC LEAY, ESQ., A.M., F.L.S.

In Captain Phillip P. King, Narrative of a survey of the Intertropical, and Western Coasts of Australia performed between the years 1818 and 1822. With an appendix, containing various subjects relating to hydrography and natural history. Vol. 2, appendix B, pp. 438-69, Table B. J. Murray, London. viii+637 p. [15 April 1826]

Page 438

THE collection consists of one hundred and ninety-two species, of which one hundred and thirty belong to the class Mandibulata, fifty-eight to Haustellata, and four to the Arachnida. Eighty-one of the species are new, and the extent to which each order of winged insects has been collected, will be best understood from the following summary.

MANDIBULATA.		HAUSTELLATA.
108	Coleoptera.	40	Lepidoptera.
8	Orthoptera.	2	Homoptera.
5	Neuroptera.	8	Hemiptera.
9	Hymenoptera.	8	Diptera.
Total 188 Species.

This number is, of course, not sufficient to allow any general remarks to be founded on the collection, and the following Catalogue is, therefore, merely descriptive.

CLASS MANDIBULATA.
Order COLEOPTERA.
1.	PANAGÆUS QUADRIMACULATUS. Oliv. Enc. Méth. Hist. Nat. Obs. There is a wretched figure of this insect given in the fourth volume of Cuvier's Règne Animal.
2.	PÆCILUS KINGII, (n. s.) P. atronitidus, antennis tomentosis obscuris, basi et apice piceis, labri margine antico palpisque rufo-piceis, thorace lineâ mediâ longitudinali vix marginem Page 439 posticuin attingente fossulâque utrinque posticâ, elytris striatis vix atro-æneis tibiis ad apicem tarsisque atro-piceis.
3.	GYRINUS RUFIPES. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. p. 276. 13. Obs. The description of this species as given by Fabricius is very vague; but as it applies tolerably well to the insect collected by Captain King, I have not thought proper to give it a new name.
4.	SILPHA LACRYMOSA. Schreiber, in Lin. Trans. vi. 194. t. 20. f. 5.

P. ater convexiusculus antennis triphyllis, verticis cornu elevato incurvo canaliculato apice emarginato, tuberculo utrinque acuto, elytrorum striis subpunctatis, mandibulis concavis extùs dentatis. Obs. This insect is much less in size than the former, and is more convex.
10.	LAMPRIMA ÆNEA. Horæ Entom. i. p. 101. 3.
11.	DASYGNATHUS DEJEANII. Horæ Entom. i. p. 141. 1.

13.	Page 440 MELOLONTHA FESTIVA. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 171. p. 63. Obs. This most beautiful insect ought to be considered as the type of a new genus near to Serica.
14.	DIPHUCEPHALA SERICEA. Kirby, in Lin. Trans. xii. p. 463. Obs. This genus I had named Agrostiphila in my MSS., but M. Dejean has since published it under the name of Diphucephala.
15.	DIPHUCEPHALA SPLENDENS, (n. s.) D. viridis nitidissima antennis palpisque nigris, capite anticè thoracisque lateribus subpunctatis, medio canaliculato, elytris punctis rugosis seriatim dispositis, corpore subtus hirsutie incano. An Melotontha colaspidoides, Schon. App. 101.?

27.	Page 441 BUPRESTIS SUTURALIS. Don. Ins. of New Holland, tab. 8.
28.	BUPRESTIS VARIABILIS, Don. Ins. of New Holland, tab. 7.
29.	BUPRESTIS KINGII, (n. s.) B. elytris striatis nigro-violaceis testaceo-quadrifasciatis haud bidentatis, thorace punctato nigro-æneo lateribus testaceis. Obs. This species comes perhaps too near to some of the darker varieties of B. variabilis, of the true appearance of which scarcely any idea can be formed from the figures of Donovan. Our insect bears a remarkable similarity to a Surinam Buprestis, with serrated elytra.
30.	BUPRESTIS BIMACULATA. Lin. Syst. Nat. ii. 662. 16. Oliv. Ins. ii. 32, tab. 12, fig. 140. Obs. This is an East Indian Insect; and, as Captain King collected a few species in the Isle of France, this is probably one of them.
31.	BUPRESTIS FISSICEPS. Kirby, in Lin. Trans. xii. p. 458, tab. 23, fig. 4.
32.	BUPRESTIS LAPIDOSA, (n. s.) B. cuprea scabrosa thorace lineis duabus parallelis longitudinalibus elevatis, elytris integris subacuminatis substriatis inter tuberculos punctatis, corpore subtus æneo.
33.	ELATER XANTHOMUS, (n. s.) E. ater antennis apicem versus dilatatis serratis, thorace punctato canaliculato, elytris punctatis striatis pubescentibus basi late auratis dimidiatis. Obs. This insect is about four lines long, and entirely black, except the upper half of the elytra.
34.	ELATER NIGRO-TERMINATUS, (n. s.) E. luteus capite antennisque atris, thorace convexo maculâ longitudinali subacuminatâ margine antico ultra medium attingente, elytris punctato-striatis apice late nigris, anoque nigro. Obs. This insect is about the same length with the former, Page 442 having its feet and underside entirely yellow, excepting the head and a black anal spot, something like the letter V.
35.	LYCUS SERRATICORNIS. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. vol. ii. 111. 6.
36.	LYCUS SEPTEMCAVUS, (n. s.) L. ater thorace parabolico fossulis septem, quatuor anticis fere æqualibus, posticarum mediâ angustâ lanciformi, duabus lateralibus latis anticè emarginatis; Scutello quadrato nigro; elytris rubris marginatis lineis quatuor elevatis, interstitiis duplici eerie punctorum transversorum crenatis.
37.	LYCUS RHIPIDIUM, (n. s.) L. ater antennis flabellatis; thorace angulis porrectis obtusis, fossulis septem, posticarum trium mediâ longitudinali lanciformi; scutello quadrato nigro; elytris rubris marginatis lineis novem elevatis, quatuor alternatim majoribus, interstitiis crenatis.
38.	TELEPHORUS PULCHELLUS, (n. s.) T. capite thoraceque nigro-nitidis, hujus margine postico late rufo, elytris viridicæruleis tomentosis punctatis ad suturam marginatis, corpore pedibusque nigris abdomine subtus rufo.
39.	MALACHIUS VERTICALIS, (n. s.) M. rufo-testaceus vertice antennisque apice nigro-nitidis, thorace testaceo, elytris fasciâ humerali mediâque violaceis, postpectore pedibus anoque nigris.
40.	CLERUS CRUCIATUS, (n. s.) C. testacea tomentosa, capite thoracis lateribus elytrorumque maculis duabus longitudinalibus, quarum posticâ latiori, nigris, elytris striato-punctatis apice rufescentibus, antennis piceis, pedibus palpisque pallidis.
41.	ŒDEMERA LIVIDA. Oliv. Ins. 50, tab. i. fig. 2. Dryops livida. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 68. 3.
42.	ŒDEMERA LINEATA. Oliv. Ins. 50, tab. i. fig. 4. Dryops lineata. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 68. 4. Obs. I suspect this insect to be merely a variety of the former species.
43.	Page 443 ŒDEMERA PUNCTUM, (n. s.) Œ. flavo-nitida antennis obscuris, fronte puncto atro-nitido impresso, thorace lunulâ utrinque atro-nitidâ impresso, scutello flavo, elytris nigrofuscis limbo et suturâ testaceis, geniculis tibiis tarsisque nigris.
44.	LAGRIA TOMENTOSA. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. vol. ii. p. 70. 9.
45.	LAGRIA RUFESCENS. Dej. Cat. 72.
46.	CISTELA SECURIGERA, (n. s.) C. subtùs picea suprâ brunnea pubescens, antennis apice palporumque articulo ultimo securiformi nigris, elytris punctis crenatis striatis.
47.	AMARYGMUS TRISTIS. Cnodulon triste. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. p. 13. 4. Obs. The characters of this genus are given by Fabricius under the head of Cnodulon, but the true Cnodulon of M. Latreille is a native of St. Domingo, and a different genus of which the characters are to be found in the Genera Crustaceorum et Insectorum. The genus has, however, been of late more accurately investigated by Dalman, in his Analecta Entomologica, and he has given it the name of Amarygmus.
48.	AMARYGMUS VIRIDICOLLIS, (n. s.) A. convexiusculus capite thoraceque viridi-cæruleis, elytris cupreis striato-punctatis, corpore subtus chalybeo pedibusque nigris.
49.	MAMRYGMUS VELUTINUS, (n. s.) A. atro-nitidus glaberrimus labri margine rubro, elytris nigro-æneis punctorum striis minutissimis. Obs. This beautiful insect is one of the largest of a genus which contains a great number of species.
50.	ADELIUM CALOSOMOIDES. Kirby, in Lin. Trans. xii. p. 420. 57. tab. 22. fig. 2.
51.	ADELIUM CARABOIDES. Kirby, in Lin. Trans. xii. p. 466. 17.
52.	Page 444 PHALIDURA MIRABILIS. Curculio mirabilis. Kirby, in Lin. Trans. xii. 469. 21. tab. 23, fig. 9. Obs. The characters of this most singular genus Phalidura are chiefly to be found in the broken clavate antennæ, short thick rostrum, connate elytra, and singular anal forceps of the male.
53.	PHALIDURA KIRBII, (n. s.) P. nigro-fusca clypeo subfurcato utrinque canaliculato, thorace confertim noduloso, elytris lineis elevatis interstitiis crenatis lateribusque punctato-striatis.
54.	PHALIDURA DRACO, (n. s.) P. atrofusca vertice concavo cruce impresso, clypeo emarginato, thorace depresso utrinque dilatato dentato margine antico tuberculato tuberculorumque lineis quatuor duabus mediis longitudinalibus, elytris punctis elevatis scabrosis utrinque dentibus acutis seriatim armatis, lateribus seriatim nodulosis medioque lineâ tuberculorum subduplici instructo. Obs. This and the following species are not true Phaliduræ; at least neither appears to have the anal forceps, but as they come close in affinity to the genus Phalidura, I have not for the present ventured to give them a new generic name.
55.	PHALIDURA MARSHAMI. Kirby, in Lin. Trans. xii. 436. 77. Obs. This insect appears to be a Chrysolopus in M. Dejean's Catalogue.
56.	HYBAUCHENIA NODULOSA, (n. s.) H. atra capite lævi vel punctis minutissimis impresso, clypeo canaliculato, thorace irregulariter noduloso, elytris suturâ læviori punctis que elevatis striatis striis duabus à suturâ alternatim majoribus. Obs. I regret that I am not able to give the detailed characters of this genus at present. I shall merely, therefore, say that it has the broken clavate antennæ of Phalidura, only they are here longer than the head and thorax taken together. The body is very convex, having the thorax as wide as the abdomen, subquadrate, with very coftvex sides. Abdomen joined to thorax by a distinct Page 445 peduncle. Elytra very convex, with almost perpendicular sides. Feet long, with rather incrassated femora.
57.	CHRYSOLOPUS SPECTABILIS. Curculio spectabilis. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 537. 184.
58.	CHRYSOLOPUS ECHIDNA, (n. s.) C. atrofuscus vertice trilineato, thorace punctis scabro medio concavo subcarinato lineis utrinque elevatis, elytris crenatis seriebus spinarum duabus interiori anum versus abbreviatâ; spinis anticis depressis obtusis, posticis acutis. C. echidna. Dej. Cat. 88.
59.	CHRYSOLOPUS TUBERCULATUS, (n. s.) C. fuscus vertice lineato, thorace punctis scabro medio canaliculato, elytris punctis seriatim impressis, tuberculorumque seriebus tribus minutis interiori abbreviatâ; tuberculo postico suturali maximo.
60.	CHRYSOLOPUS QUADRIDENS. Curculio 4-dens. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 536. 175. Obs. The three last species can scarcely be considered to belong to the same genus with C. spectabilis; but I follow M. Dejean until the whole family be more accurately investigated.
61.	GASTRODUS CRENULATUS. Curculio crenulatus. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 518. 64.
20.	GASTRODUS ALBOLINBATUS, (n. s.) G. niger thorace scabriusculo rugis transversis duabus lineâque laterali albâ, elytris nigris striato-punctatis suturâ striâque mediâ elevatis lævibus lineâ laterali albâ haud apicem attingente, apice rufescente albo-punctato.
62.	FESTUS RUBRIPES, (n. s.) F. niger capite lineâ transversâ constricto; vertice lineis quatuor elevatis clypeoque tribus, antennis piceis clavâ obscurâ, thorace punctis elevatis scabro: elytris punctis impressis striatis, punctis conspicuis argenteosquamigeris pedibus rufis geniculis obscuris. Page 446 Obs. I am doubtful whether this insect truly belongs to Megerle's genus Festus. The anteunnæ are much shorter than in Pachygaster.
64.	CENCHROMA LANUGINOSA. Dej. Cat. p. 95.
65.	CENCHROMA OBSCURA, (n. s.) C. nigra squamis cinereis aspersa clypeo lineis duabus mediis approximatis elevatis lateribus albis, thorace canaliculato, elytris punctis impressis striatis squamisque cinereis subaureis præsertim ad latera aspersis, corpore subtus ad latera pedibusque albo-squamosis.
66.	CURCULIO CULTRATUS. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 536. 173. Oliv. Ins. 83. fig. 157. Obs. This is a new genus of the Curculionidæ, but as I am not able in this place to give the characters of it, I prefer to cite the insect under its Fabrician title.
67.	RHYNCHÆNUS CYLINDRIROSTRIS. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 468. 125. Oliv. Ins. 83, fig. 128. Obs. This insect is altogether as different from the true Rhynchæni, as the preceding one is from the true Curculiones.
68.	RHYNCHÆNUS BIDENS. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 457. 96. Oliv. Ins. 83. fig. 113. Obs. This is also not a true Rhynchænus, but is a very singular insect in appearance, as the acute spine, which rises from each elytron, appears to be its peculiar defence against entomological collectors.
69.	EURHINUS SCABRIOR. Kirby, in Lin. Trans. xii. p. 428. 65.
70.	RHINOTIA HÆMOPTERA. Kirby, in Lin. Trans. xii. p. 426.
71.	ORTHORHYNCHUS SUTURALIS, (n. s.) O. nigro-fuscus punetis impressus vertice ad oculos albo-bilineato, thorace fossulâ postica mediâ albâ, elytris ad suturam lineâ pilis albà, corpore subtus lateribus albis.
72.	Page 447 CARPOPHAGUS BANKSIÆ, (n. s.) C. nigro-fuscus pilis albis aspersus capite thoraceque punctatis lineâ mediâ glabra divisis, scutello cinereo, elytris rugosis lineis quatuor subelevatis, corpore subtus pedibusque cinereo-sericeis. Tab. B. fig. 1. Obs. This curious insect is said to be found on the Banksia, and would probably, with Linnæus, have been a Bruchus. The following are the characters of this new genus.
CARPOPHAGUS, (novum genus.) Antennæ ante oculos insertæ filiformes articulo basilari crassiori, secundo subgloboso brevissimo, ultimo apice conico acuto, Labrum semicirculare margine antico integro rotundato ciliato. Mandibulæ validæ corneæ arcuatæ, intus apicem versus subsinuatæ edentulæ basin versus ciliatæ vel submembranaceæ. Maxillæ basi corneæ processubus duobus membranaceis apicem versus instructæ, lobo externo vel apicali ovali extus ciliato; interno tenuiori lanciformi apice acuto. Palpi maxillares breves crassi vix ultra maxillarum apicem extensi, quadriarticulati articulo stipitali vix conspicuo secundo obconico tertio subgloboso breviori ultimo ovali obtuso. Palpi labiales triarticulati articulo stipitali minimo, secundo obconico longiore, ultimo crassiori ovato, apice truncato. Labium obcordatum basi corneum angustius apice membranaceum medio emarginatum ciliatum lobo utrinque rotundato. Mentum semicirculare anticè rotundatum medio emarginato sive edentulo. Caput porrectum oculis prominulis thorace angustius clypeo quadrato vertice inter oculos fossulis duabus anticé convergentibus. Thorax haud marginatus lateribus haud rotundatis suhcylindricus anticè angustius, posticè sublobatus. Scutellum tuberculare mucronatum. Abdomen thorace duplo latius. Elytra convexa humeris eminentibus postice divergentia rotundata. Pedes pentameri articulis tribus tarsorum primis ciliatis pulvillatis dilatatis, tertio bilobo, quarto brevissimo et quinto tenuibus obconicis, hoc biunguiculato. Femora postica valde incrassata intus unidentata; dente magno. Tibiæ posticæ compresæ apice dilatatæ.
73.	Page 448 MEGAMERUS KINGII, (n. s.) M. nigro-fuscus labro palpisque piceis thorace vix punctato posticè rugoso, elytris rugis vel punctis confluentibus substriatis fossulâ ad humeros profundâ lineâque suturali impressis, corpore subtus pilis sub-sericeo pedibusque concoloribus. Tab. B. fig. 2. Obs. This singular insect has an affinity to Sagra, but differs from that genus in having setiform antennæ, porrect mandibles, and securiform palpi. Its habit is also totally different from that of a Sagra, and more like that of some of those insects which belong to the heterogeneous magazine called Prionus. It is, undoubtedly, the most singular and novel form in Captain King's collection, and forms a new genus, of which the characters are as follow.
MEGAMERUS, (novum genus.) Antennæ inter oculos insertæ filiformes vel potius setaceæ articulo basilari crassiori secundo subgloboso brevissimo apicali acuto. Labrum transverso-quadratum anticè submembranaceum tomentosum subemarginatum. Mandibulæ exertæ porrectæ supra convexiusculæ lunulatæ vel falciformes dorso subsiauatæ apice vel extus oblique truncatæ acutissimæ. Maxillæ basi corneæ processubus duobus submembranaceis apicem versus instructæ, lobo externo vel apicali ovali extus ciliato, interno tenuiori apice subacuto margineque interno vix unidentato. Palpi maxillares quadriarticulati, articulo stipitali minimo inconspicuo, secundo obconico longo duobus ultimis simul sumptis longitudine fere æquali, tertio obconico crassiori, ultimo securiformi compresso. Palpi labiales triarticulati articulo stipitali minimo inconspicuo, secundo longo obconico setis quibusdam ad apicem instructo, tertio triangulari compresso vel securiformi. Labium membranaceum cordatum anticé bilobum, lobis elongatis ciliatis interno latere rectilineari extus ad apicem rotundatis. Mentum semicirculare antice rotundatum margine antico emarginato. Page 449 Caput porrectum oculis prominentibus thorace baud angustius. Thorax convexus anticè posticèque marginatus lateribus rotundatis haud marginatis. Scutellum triangulare subacutum. Abdomen thorace fere duplo latius. Elytra humeris eminentibus marginatis, lateribus parallelis. Pedes pentameri articulis tribus tarsorum primis ciliatis pulvillatis dilatatis, penultimo bilobo, ultimo tenui biunguiculato. Femora postica valde incrassata intus unidentata. Tibiæ posticæ compressæ apice dilatatæ angulo externo acuto. Obs. The structure of the tarsus in this genus, so near in affinity to Carpophagus and Sagra, has led me to investigate more minutely the tarsus in the tetramerous and trimerous insects of the French entomologists, and the result has been that the arrangement given in the third volume of M. Cuvier's Règne Animal, is discovered to be as erroneous in point of description, as it is inconsistent with natural affinities.
74.	PRIONUS BIDENTATUS. Don. Ins. of New Holland, tab. 6.
75.	PRIONUS FASCIATUS. Don. Ins. of New Holland, tab. 6.
76.	PRIONUS SPINICOLLIS, (n. s.) P. piceus antennis filiformibus basi nigris articulo ultimo vix crassiore, capite fusco tomentoso, thorace nigro-fusco punctis scabroso, lateribus spinulosis, in medio postice carinâ lævi tuberculoque utrinque magno compresso scabro; scutello piceo nigro-marginato, elytris testaceis punctulatis substriatis apice unidentatis, pectoris lateribus rufotomentosis.
77.	DISTICHOCERA MACULICOLLIS. Kirby, in Lin. Trans. xii.
78.	DISTICHOCERA ? RUBRIPENNIS, (n. s.) D. rufo-testacea subtomentosa, capitis lateribus oreque nigris, vertice canaliculato, antennis nigris articulis vix biramosis ramis sinistris brevissimis, thorace atro vittâ utrinque rufotestaceâ, scutello nigro, elytris rufo-testaceis tomentosis apice obtusis dehiscentibus, corpore cuneiformi subtus villo argenteo micante, abdomine utrinque nigro maculato, pedibus nigris. Obs. This insect may be considered a Molorchus with elytra as Page 450 long as its wings; and it, therefore, evidently connects this genus with Distichocera.
79.	CLYTUS THORACICUS. Don. Ins. of New Holland, tab. 5. Obs. This insect leaves the typical form of Clytus, so much as to make me hesitate in placing it in the genus.
80.	CALLIDIUM BAJULUS, Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 333. 2. Obs. This insect answers perfectly well to the specific description as given by Fabricius, but is rather larger than the European insect, and has eight obsolete white spots disposed in two parallel bands on the back of the elytra.
81.	CALLIDIUM EROSUM, (n. s.) C. nigrum capite punctato, ore testaceo, antennis apice fuscis, thorace tomentoso punctato vel potius punctis confluentibus eroso disco rufo medio subtuberculato, elytris acuminatis apice deflexis lineis duabus elevatis interstitiis punctis confertissimis pulcherrimé erosis suturâ margineque rufis, corpore subtus pedibusque tomentosis. Var. β. Major, capite rufo antennis fuscis, elytris rulls liturâ inter lineas duas elevatas solum nigricante, pedibus nigropiceis.
82.	CALLIDIUM SOLANDRI. Lamia Solandri. Oliv. Ins. 67. 133. Pl. 16. fig. 118. Fab. Ent. Syst. 2. 292. 97. Obs. I place Olivier's Synonym in this case first; because the Fabrician description is so erroneous, that did we not know the original insect in the Banksian Collection, there would be no possibility of making it out.
83.	STENOCHORUS SEMIPUNCTATUS. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. ii. 306. 8. Obs. This and the three following species belong to the Stenochori Callidiiformes of Schönnher.
84.	STENOCHORUS ACANTHOCERUS, (n. s.) S. fusco-ferrugineus capite punctato, antennis rubris articulo tertio quarto quinto et sexto apice spinosis, ore rubro, maxillis elongatis apice ciliatis Page 451 membranaceis, palpis securiformibus, thorace obscuro utrinque unispinoso margine antico tuberculisque dorsalibus utrinque duobus posticoque semicirculari rubris, scutello rubro; elytris rubris fasciis tribus nigris undatis, ad basin inter lineas elevatas subcrenatis apicemque versus punctatis apice bidentatis; corpore subtus nigro-nitido tomentoso pedibus rubris.
85.	STENOCHORUS DORSALIS, (n. s.) S. fulvo-piceus capite angusto, labro palpisque testaceis, vertice canaliculato, thorace inæqualiter rugoso eminentiâ mediâ ovali glabrâ tribusque aliis utrinque inconspicuis, elytris bidentatis lineis subelevatis interstitiisque punctatis maculâ mediâ suturali testaceâ anticè subemarginatâ, antennis subtus villosis articulis apice haud spinosis, corpore pedibusque piceis femoribus incrassatis.
86.	STENOCHORUS TUNICATUS, (n. s.) S. flavus antennarum articulis duobus primis nigris quinto apice septimo nonoque nigris, thorace subcylindrico utrinque unidentato supra quadrituberculato tuberculis anticis majoribus, elytris apicè flavis unidentatis, parte basali ultra medium subviolaceo-flavâ lineâ obliquâ terminatâ, corpore pedibusque flavo-testaceis.
87.	STENODERUS ABBREVIATUS. Dej. Cat. 112. Cerambyx abbreviatus. Fab. Syst. Eleuth. Leptura ceramboides. Kirby, in Lin. Trans. vol. xii. p. 472. Obs. This is certainly Mr. Kirby's Leptura ceramboides, and perfectly agrees with the Fabrician description of the Cerambyx abbreviatus, except that no mention is there made of its mouth being yellow. Mr. Kirby says of this insect, “a habitu Lepturæ omnino recedit Cerambycibus propior,” and certainly were it allowable to judge entirely from habit, it would seem to connect those American Saperdæ of Fabricius and Olivier which have bearded antennæ, such as (S. plumigera, Oliv., barbicornis, Fab.) with some other family, perhaps the Œdemeridæ. But, however this may be, the genus Stenoderus differs from the Cerambycidæ, and agrees with the Lepturidæ, inasmuch as it has the antennæ inserted between the eyes.
88.	Page 452 STENODERUS CONCOLOR, (n. s.) S. obscure testaceus, antennis articulo basilari longo apice crassiori, capite thoraceque cylindrico constricto subrufis, elytris testaceis punctatis lineis quatuor elevatis.

Obs. This immense insect, which is nearly a foot long, is now for the first time described, although it seems to be not uncommon in New South Wales. Although much larger, it comes very near to the P. Gigas of Linnæus and Stoll, and like it, belongs to Lichtenstein's division, thus characterized, “Alata elytris alisque in utroque sexu.”

131.	PAPILIO EURYPILUS. Linu. Syst. Nat. ii. p. 754. 49. Godart. Enc. Méth. Hist. Nat. ix. 45. 61. Obs. Captain King found an insect on the north coast of New Holland, which, I think, can only be deemed a variety of P. Eurypilus, a species hitherto recorded as inhabiting Java and Amboyna. This variety is distinguished from the Euripilus of Godart by several minute differences.

133.	PAPILIO STHENELUS, (n. s.) P. alis nigris fliavo-maculatis posticis dentatis fasciâ maculâque adjectâ flavis, ocello anali rufo lunulæ cæruleæ submisso. Obs. This species is in New Holland what Demoleus is in Africa, and Epius in India. It is even difficult to determine whether the three may not be varieties of one species. If varieties, however, they are certainly permanent according to the above localities, and this species may be easily distinguished from Epius, which it most resembles, by the large yellow spot near the middle of the superior margin of the upper wing. This spot is divided Page 458 into two in Epius and Demoleus. Moreover, the band of the lower wing in P. Sthenelus is only attended with one small spot.
134.	PAPILIO ANACTUS, (n. s.) P. alis nigro-fuscis, anticis griseomaculatis, inferis dentatis fasciâ albâ extus dentatâ lunulâ mediâ nigrâ limbique nigri lunulis quinque cæruleis ocellis tot rufis submissis. Obs. This fine species is of the middle size, and seems to have a relation both with P. Epius and P. Machaon. The vertex is orange-coloured, with a black line in the middle. The two upper wings are slightly dentated, the lower dentations being marked with white spots. There are three grey spots in the middle of the superior margin of the wing, of which the largest is the one nearest to the body; on the outside of these are two parallel rows of grey spots, the first range consisting of about nine oblong spots unequal in size, and the outer range of eight smaller, whitish, and round spots. The white band of the lower wings, which are not tailed, has a black crescent-like spot in the middle; and on the outside, two parallel rows of five spots, the one blue and the other red. The emarginations of these wings are fringed with white. The under side of this insect is like the upper, except that the colours are more pronounced, and that there are two round white spots on the outside of the white band of the lower wings.

This insect is of Godart's fifth size, and comes very near to his Pieris Nina. The wings are of a fine white colour, particularly the upper. These have their summit black, and a minute Page 459 black point, near the middle. The under wings are without any spots, but are bordered behind by a cinereous thread. The under side of the upper wings have the costa and summit covered with spots and minute incontinuous lines of a yellowish colour. The underside of the lower wings are sulphureous, with very fine undulating or rather incontinuous lines of a yellowish colour. The species has been named by Captain King, after John Wilson Croker, Esq., M.P., and first secretary to the Admiralty.
138.	PIERIS NISEIA, (n. s.) P. alis albis limbo late nigro; anticis maculâ mediâ nigrâ limboque albo-trimaculato; posticis subtus nigro-venosis limbi maculis luteo-notatis. Obs. This insect comes very near to the P. Teutonia of Godart and Donovan, particularly in its under side. It is, however, smaller than that insect. The upper wings are white, with a posterior broad black subtriangular border, having two or three white spots at the apex. These wings have a black spot near their middle, which is also on the under side, but there communicates by a transverse, short, and rather curved, black band, with a black superior edging of the wing. In other respects the under side of the superior wings is like the upper, except perhaps that it is yellowish at the base. The lower wings have their upper side white, with a broad black border. Their under side is strongly veined with black, having the base and the middle of the outer row of white spots in the posterior margin of the wing yellowish.
139.	PIERIS SCYLLARA, (n. s.) P. alis integerrimis albis limbo exteriori utrinque nigro: anticis elongato-trigonis maculis apicalibus quatuor albis. Obs. This species comes very near to P. Lyncida of Godart. Its wings are white above. The upper ones have their costa blackish, and a triangular border at their extremity rather dentated on the inside. On this black border is a transverse row of four or five white spots, unequal in size. The lower wings have also a black herder with one white spot, and which is simply crenated on the inside. The under side of the four wings scarcely differs from Page 460 the upper, except that the black borders above mentioned are in general more pale, and those of the lower wings are broader than on the upper side.
140.	PIERIS NYSA. Fab. Syst. Ent. iii. 473. 123. P. Endora. Don. Ins. of New Holland. P. Nysa. Godart, Enc. Méth. Hist. Nat. ix. 152. 118. P. Endora. Godart, Enc. Méth. Hist. Nat. ix. 152. 117? Obs. On an inspection of the original Pieris Nysa of Fab., in the Banksian cabinet, I find it to be the same with the P. Endora of Donovan, the only difference being that the under wings are less cinereous on the upper side, and the upper wings have more white at the extremity of the yellow spots at the base of their under sides. These minute differences appear to be sexual. At all events this is undoubtedly the P. Endora of Donovan, in his Insects of New Holland. M. Godart, however, most erroneously quotes another work of Donovan, namely, The Insects of India, and gives an erroneous description, apparently from confounding some Indian insect with the insect described by Donovan. Godart has also erroneously altered the Fabrician description of P. Nysa, and thus added to the multitude of proofs which his laborious work affords, that the continental entomologists have no means of undertaking a complete description of species, without visiting the extensive collections of London.

144.	PIERIS HERLA, (n. s.) P. alis rotundatis integerrimis flavis, anticis apice fuscis, posticis margine nigro-sublineatis subtus testaceis atomis griseis aspersis. Page 461 Obs. This insect is larger than P. Smilax, but resembles it extremely in its upper side. The under side, however, is different, as the extremity of the upper wings and the whole of the under wings are of a fawn colour. The under side of the lower wings is also sprinkled with some grey atoms, and marked obscurely with a fuscous band under two points.
145.	EUPLÆA CHRYSIPPUS. Godart, Enc. Méth. H.N. ix. 187. 38. Obs. Captain King has brought a variety of this insect from New Holland, which only differs from the European specimen figured by Hubner, in the row of white points round the edge of the upper side of the lower wings being evanescent. This species is one of those which have a great range of distribution, being found in Naples, Egypt, Syria, India, Java, and New Holland.

Obs. This insect comes so very near to the Euplæa Limniace, of Godart and Cramer, which is common on the Coromandel Coast as well as in Java and Ceylon, that I can scarcely consider it as any thing but a variety of that species. It differs, however, in being constantly of a smaller size, in its abdomen being black, and in the exterior row of white spots on the under wings not extending much more than half way round the margin of these wings. Captain King found this insect in surprising numbers on various parts of the North-east Coast, particularly at Cape Cleveland. See vol. i. p. 195.
148.	DANAIS TULLIOLA. Fab. Ent. Syst. iii. p. 4. 122. Obs. I reserve the generic name of Danais for such of M. Latreille's genus as have no pouches to the lower wings of their Page 462 males; and to the remainder I give the Fabrician generic name of Euplæa.
149.	DANAIS DARCHIA, (n. s.) P. alis integris fuscis velutinis cæruleo-micantibus, omnibus suprâ fasciâ maculari intra punctorum seriem marginalem abbreviatam albâ; anticis puncto albo costali. Danais Darchia. Captain P. P. King MSS. Obs. This is exactly the size of D. Eleusine, to which it appears to come very near. The upper side of the four wings is brownish-black, having towards the margin an arched band of violet-coloured white spots, of which the greatest is at the extremity of the wing. There is also on the superior margin, about the middle of the upper wing, a white point, and at its inferior angle a marginal series of a few white points. The upper side of the lower wings has an abbreviated series of marginal points on the outside of an arched series of violet-coloured whitish lunulæ. The under side answers well to the description given by Godart of the under side of his Danais Eunice, except that D. Darchia has only one white point in the middle of the upper wing. This species has been named by Captain King after his friend Thomas Darch, Esq., of the Admiralty.
150.	DANAIS CORINNA, (n. s.) P. alis integris fuscis velutinis cæruleo-micantibus, anticis punctis quatuor costalibus, maculis duabus angularibus et punctorum eerie marginali albis, punctis extimum versus majoribus; alis posticis punctorum eerie marginali et macularum longitudinalium fasciâ discoidali albis. Obs. This species comes between the Danais Cora of Godart and his D. Coreta. The under side differs in having the marginal series of white points continued to the very tip of the upper wings, while they have three other points in the disc. There are also eight or nine similar white points between the base of the lower wings and the band of longitudinal spots.

The original insect of Fabricius is in the Banksian cabinet, and affords further cause of regret, that the article “Papillon,” of the Encyclopédie Méthodique, should have been undertaken by a person who had not studied the classical collections that exist out of Paris. M. Godart describes this insect as a new species, under the name of Entoria, and makes it an inhabitant of the West Coast of Africa.
161.	CETHOSIA PENTHESILIA. Godart. Enc. Méth. ix. 248. 13. Obs. This species has hitherto been described only as a native of Java, but Captain King found several specimens of a variety of it on the North Coast of New Holland.

Obs. This beautiful species I have named after Sir Stamford Raffles, to whose scientific ardour and indefatigable exertions in Java and Sumatra, every Naturalist must feel himself indebted. The under sides of the wings are spotted like the upper, the only difference being, that round the whole disc of the four wings Page 464 there runs a band of ashy-green atoms. The antennæ and feet are black, and the breast whitish. The vivid colour of the yellow spots on the velvety black of the wings distinguish it at once from every known species.
163.	URANIA ORONTES. Godart. Enc. Méth. ix. 710. 4. Var. alis atro-viridibus, anticis fasciis duabus posticis cupreoviridibus, unicâ latâ. Obs. This beautiful variety of an insect hitherto described as peculiar to Java and Amboyna was found in immense numbers, flitting among a grove of Pandanus trees, growing on the banks of a stream near the extremity of Cape Grafton, upon the Northeast Coast of New Holland. See vol. ii. p. 14.

Dielophila Latreillii. De Cerisy MSS. Obs. The under side of the four wings is very pale, of a yellowish-gray colour, traversed by a line of blackish points, which indeed are dispersed very generally over the whole surface. The disk of the upper wings is rather blacker than the rest. The head and thorax are of the colour of the wings, their sides and the conical abdomen being rather lighter. The antennæ are ciliated, whitish above, and brownish beneath.
166.	SPHINX GODARTI, (n. s.)

Dielophila Godarti. De Cerisy MSS. Obs. All the wings are of a gray colour beneath, the fringe being alternately white and brown. The thorax is gray, with a narrow, tawny, transverse mark, a lateral white fascia, two black curved marks, and on the hinder part a black spot. The body beneath is of a whitish colour.
167.	MACROGLOSSUM KINGII, (n. s.)

Macroglossum Kingii. De Cerisy MSS. Obs. The antennæ of this beautiful species are black, very slender at the base, and thick towards the extremity. The palpi are greenish above and white beneath. The breast is white in the middle, and yellow at the sides. The two first segments of the abdomen are, on the upper side, gray in the middle, and yellow on the sides; the third segment is black, with a part of the anterior edge yellowish towards the side; the fourth segment is entirely black, having only a white fringe on its anterior edge; the fifth segment is of an orange yellow, with the middle black; the sixth segment is entirely yellow, and the whole abdomen is terminated by a pencil of hairs, which are yellow at their base, and black at the extremity. The thighs are whitish, with the tibiæ and tarsi yellow.
