I, -4 Catalogue of Lucanoid Coleoptera ; with Illustrations
and Descriptions of various new and interesting
Species. By Major F. J. Sidney Parry, F.L.S.

[Read 7th Sept. 1863, 4th Jan., 4th April, 1864.]

That 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. Lucano'idea 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 Peclinicornia
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
Lucanoiden, 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 diflferent famihes ; 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, 1 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, Regne Animal, iv. 57 6).

M'Leay (Horse Entomologicse, i. 195).

Westvvood (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 Coleopteres, iii. 1).

Brulle (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. Laferte 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 :

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 autliors previously
alluded to. The general arrangement I have adopted has been
based chiefly upon the publications of the Rev. F. W. Hope,
])r. 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 antennae at first
suggested itself, and indeed it had been already proposed by
M'Leay, as a 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,
tliat 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

tibias 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 JEgus,
of which no Entomologist has been able to establish suffi-
cient characters to separate it from other sections of the
Lucan'idce,

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 tibiae 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 antennae, not always to be relied upon ; an arrangement

of Lucanoid Coleoptera. 6

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 tibiae, 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

6 Major Parry's Catalogue

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 o'entlemen 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.

Chiasognathus Latreillei $, Solier.
Re'ich'ii $, Thomson,
imberbis, Dohrn, MS.

I have no douht as to the identity of the above (already re-
ferred to in my Remarks on Mr. Thomson's Catalogue o? Lucanidce,
Tr. Ent. Soc. 3rd Series, vol. i. p. 444). Although my collection
does not contain this species, I 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.

Chiasognathus Mniszechii $ , Thomson. {V\. X. fig. 3.)
? Jousselinii, 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. I'homson, 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 LuxERii $, Buquet. (PI. IX. fig. 6.)
Whether this unique species is to be placed with the Chiasog-
n(ithid(B or the Lucanidce is problematical ; both Mr. Thomson
and Count Mniszech have considered it as belonging to the latter
fimily ; 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 J , was originally described by the
Rev. F. W. Hope (Trans. Ent. Soc, vol. iv. p. 182, pi. xiii. fig. 3),
and placed with PhoUdolus ; 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
DorcidcE, in which it has been hitherto located, that after a careful
comparison with various genera, more especially with Lamprima
and Streplocerus (to which the only two species of the genus
Colophon, viz. C. Weshvoodli 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, Chiasognathidce,
of which it may be regarded as the African representative. I
place it in juxtaposition with Streptoccrus, which it further
resembles in possessing four joints to the clava of the antennae,
and thus affords a connecting link with the Lucanidce.

Luc ANUS CERVUS, Linnaeus.

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, IG08. The description is so quaint that I have deemed
it not uninteresting to republish it in exlenso.

♦' 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 Bub horns, some have horns
in their noses : we shall speak of them all in order. The
\WaTvKEpu)Q, or Hartshorn beetle, is called Lucanus by Nigidius ;
as riiny witnesseth. Some call it the Bull, others the Flying
Stag : Hesychius cals it ciKavQoQ, because it lays hold on things in
its way with thorny horns. Cardanus calls it aKapafieXafog, a
word composed of Greek and Latin ; Gaza calls it /capa/3oe ; the
Italians call it Cereti, and vulgarly Polupeso; the French, Cerf
volant ; the English, Stag fly or Flying fly ; the Hollander,
Fliegende Hert ; the Illyrians, 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

")]n^i/i'

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 $ , the remainder of the insect exhibiting the usual
appearance of the S ; 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.

Lucanus lattcornis $ , 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 L. orientalh of Kraatz,
differing, however, in having the G-jointed clava of the antennte
strongly developed, and the mandibles considerably more slender.

head and prothorax not very strong. The elytra smooth and
polished. The antennae 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.

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 L. sericans by M. van VoUenhoven, appears to be
erroneous ; the latter insect is probably the var. minor of Lucanus
maculifemoratus.

With reference to Lucanus Ilircus, Sturm, Cat. (Java), I have
not been able to obtain any information.

The principal distinctive characters above given of this genus
present an interesting connecting link between Lucanus and Hex-
arlhrius ; on the one hand, the moderately developed clava of its

its unarmed posterior tibiae, separate it from Lucanus ; whilst on
the other hand it is distinguished from Ilexarthrius by the 4*jointed
clavac of the antennae, and its laterally-armed prothorax.

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

received from Count de Castelnau.

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

with black. Tarsi black ; anterior tibiae serrated externally with
three or four small irregularly disposed spines, the apical tooth
very prominent and much curved.

Gen. Odontolabis, Hope.
Anoplocnemus, Id.

The genus Anoplocnemus, Hope (vid. Tr. Ent. Soc. iii. 279),
was founded on and included only a single species, viz., A. Bur-
vicisleri (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 \&t\ety o{ Odontolabis Cuvera). The principal character
assigned to the genus is the absence of s])ines from all the tibiae.
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 tibiae unarmed, I have incorporated Anoplocnemus with
Odontolabis, of which genus numerous species have lately been
added to our collections.

1 am at a loss to imagine why Dr. Burmeister preferred esta-
blishing ^no/3/oc7?c??H<s as a genus in preference to Odontolabis, RJr.
Hope having notified only one species of the former to fourteen
of the latter.

Vollenhoven, having received from Sumatra a closely-allied species,
and being under the impression that it was identical with the abov-e,
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 I feel grateful for his kind attention when
recently there.

O. Vollenhomi 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 0. bicolor, 0.
Dejeanii, and other species) the prothorax broad, with the sides
dilated, and the fore tibiae 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 C'mgalensis is misprinted Bengalensis : in the same work, the
genus Singhala (sp. tenella, Blanchard), belonging to the family
of the Rutelidce (vid. Cat. Coil. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, part 2,
p. 198), is erroneously placed with the Lucanidce.

Odontolabis nigrita, H. Deyrolle, MS.
A new species from Ceylon, in the collection of Count Mniszech.
According to M. Henri Deyrolle, closely allied to O. Cingalens'ts ;
a description will shortly appear in the Ann. Soc. Ent. de France.
It will form, together with O. C'mgalensis and 0. ceratus, the third
section of the genus Odontolabis, having elongate mandibles, but
the head, instead of being armed with a spine behind the eyes,
is only slightly inflated, the body depressed and highly polished,
and the anterior tibiae are curved. The sub-genus Calcodes of
Westwood (vide Hope's Catalogue) is incorporated with this sec-
tion, the metallic colour of Calcodes ceratus 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
Platijprosopus, Hope, Helerochlhes differs in having the middle tibiee
without a central spine, and in the form of the head and prothorax.

This new form affords a proof of the advantage af!brded in the
classification of the Lucanidce by the number of the spines upon the
tibiae, 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.

1 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 male has the head much larger than the prothorax, flattened,

vertical, slightly concave, with the upper edge acute ; the centre
of the clypeus produced into a rounded tubercle ; the sides behind
the eyes (which are entirely divided by the canthus) very finely
and distantly punctured and slightly sinuated, but not produced
into a decided tubercle or spine. The mandibles in the larger

specimens are longer than the Iiead, 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 antenna are small, with a three-
jointed clava; the maxillae 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 striae. The fore
tibiae are rather long, with two teeth on the outer edge, exclusive
of the two strong ones at the apex. The four posterior tibias 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 tibiae 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.

Macrognathus, Hope, Cat. p. 5.
Metopodontus, Id. p. 4.
ProsopocoiluSi Id. p. 4.

This genus, to which Dr. Burmeister united Hexarthius 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 Metopodonlus and Prosopocoilus of the same
author, both established with reference to the number of spines
upon the tibiae 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 Prosopocuilus 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 suflSciently 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.

anterior and posterior margins bisinuate, sides slightly waved,
posterior angles obliquely truncate. Elytra widest just below

appearance the gigantic species of the genus Odontolahis, it bears
nevertheless, I think, a nearer affinity to the species of that section
of the genus Cladognathus which Mr. Hope in his Catalogue
designated as Prosopoco'tlus, and of which Cladognathus Lafertei
may be considered the representative.

interesting memoir above referred to, I ascertained that tlie insect
described and figured by him, fig. 6, as the $ of Tragulus is in
fact the 2 of D. inn-jyurasccns (var. Saiga 1 ); vid. tab. vii. fig. 1.
There are several specimens in the collection, and M. van Vol-
lenhoven kindly presented me with the one from which the
present diagnosis is drawn up. With reference to my description
of C. productus $, as having the intermediate tibial 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

The above description was originally given as that of the 2 of
C. productus (but which species has now proved to be identical
with C. Tragulus, Voll.). I have, however, since my recent visit
to Leyden, ascertained, as already previously stated, that it is
not the 2 of C Tragulus, from which it differs in the uniform
colour of the elytra and in the posterior tibiae being unarmed.
Unfortunately the S of this new species is at present unknown.

The general appearance of this new species allies it closely to

tinguished by the short obtuse posterior angles of the head, the
oblique posterior angles of its prothorax, and the well-defined
luteoLis margin of tlie 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, r)ej., from
Guinea, especially in the toothing of the mandibles, but that
species possesses a spine in the middle of the intermediate tibiae.
It is most nearly allied to CI. 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 s])ot 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 til)iac; are serrulated along the outer edge and armed with
three stronger teeth at the apex, the four posterior tibia? are des-
titute of a sjjine in the middle of the outer margin. The body

affixed to the specimen has the appearance of belonging to a
different species, prevent me from speaking with greater certainty
as to their identity.

Erichson (1. c.) described the female only, the male being appa-
rently unknown to him. Dr. Burmeister, Handb. d. Ent. v. 370,
has referred L. cavifrons (Burm. MS.), Hope, Cat. p. 13, to the
above described species ; this is undoubtedly an error. Neither

32 Major Parry's Catalogue

the Rev. F. W. Hope nor Dr.Burmeister t«^ acquainted with the
veritable male of Erichson's species, which is now described for
the first time, and which differs essentially from C. cav'ifrons (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. cav'ifrons, 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 tibiae moreover are straight,
and not curved as in C. cav'ifrons.

The female is equally to be distinguished from that of C. cav'i-
frons by its more robust and convex form ; the anterior tibiae are
considerably more dilated, their outer edge also strongly denti-
culated ; the four posterior tibiae, like all the females of this genus
(with the exception of C. cavfrons), are armed with a single
spine.

The only two specimens of L. 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
tibiae of the four posterior legs would assign tenuipes to the genus
Odontolabis, in which Mr. Hope placed it, its slender fore tibiae
and general structure of body place it indubitably with those in-
sects which belong to the genus Cladognallius, 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 Entoniologie, v. 371,
gives this insect as synonymous with Lucanus Jniilopus $ ,
Swederus (Act. Holm. 1787, iii. 18G, 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 blsphwsus 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 tibiae 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 tibiae ; although I must remark that in fully
developed individuals a minute tubercle is occasionally seen on
the intermediate tibiae. These spines or tubercles on the tii)iae,
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 L. 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 dilHcult to fix exactly
the species to which it ought to be referred. If identical with
Senegalensis, Khig, it certainly is not the Antilopus of Swederus;
and should it be a more fully developed specimen of Antilopus, Swed.,
(as the mandibles are described as being as long as the head and

of Lucanoid Coleoptera, 35

■bedy together) it will then, I think, prove, as intimated above, to
be synonymous with L. qiiadr'tdens, 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 tibiae 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, 1 have
placed it.

the posterior nnglcs of the prothorax, in which respect it agrees
with Luc. j)U7icl'tger, Hope (Cat. Lucan. p. 24 ; Linn. Trans, xviii.
p. 592), but which differs from the present species in the elytra
being destitute of costae, and in its much less strongly punctured
prothorax. The type specimens of the last-mentioned species
are females, and are regarded with considerahle probability by
Major Parry as the other sex of L, hulbosus, 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, wiih 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
antennae; the eye is divided through its anterior half by the sharp
curved canihus. The mentum is short, almost semicircular, and
rudely punctured. The maxillae are short, the inner lobe termi-
nating in a sharp, hooked spine (a character also found in the
fema.]e of Pr. Martini, Hope, an African species of this sub-ginus).
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 costae, 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 costae 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 tibia? are armed with live teeth, of which the two
at the apex are the largest, and the four posterior til)ia2 have a
spine in the middle of the outer edge of each.

Allied to C.faher, 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
Cladngnathus 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. qiiadridens, Hope, Cat. p. 14.

With the exception of a small species of Dorciis, D. adspersus,
Boheman, recently described and figured by Professor Westwood
(Trans. Ent. Soc, 3rd Ser., i. 435, pi, 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 !-^^^]^3^
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 Dorcidce, and are respectively identical
with the genera Hemisodorcus and Eurytrachelus of Mr. Thomson's
" Catalogue of the Lucanidae." L. bulbosus, Hope, a not very

uncommon species, has very properly been removed by Mr. Thom-
son to the genus Cladugnalhus, to which, from its general structure,
it has evidently a much nearer affinity, and, as regards the other
species, L. Spenc'ii, 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 tiiis insect with Mesotopus Tarandus : subsequent inves-
tigation, however, leads me to place it near Cladognnthus, and to
refer it more particularly to the iVfrican species C.faber, C.Na-
ialensis and C. modeslus. It resembles these in having the head
broad and armed behind the eyes ; the mandibles slender and
falcate; the legs likewise slender; the anterior tibiae of the
females slightly curved and not dilated as in Mesotopus, and the
posterior tibiae 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. ceneoniicans is but a minor variety of
L. metalUfer, 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 tibiae 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.

The extraordinary size of the head of this species, in com-

respect it somewhat resembles C. faun'icolor, Hope (vid. Tr. Ent.
Soc. iv. 273), but differs from it and all the other species of the
genus by its rich dark purple colour.

For the description and figure of this new species I am in-
debted to Mr. Maitland, the obliging Curator of the Zoological
Society's establishment at Amsterdam ; it forms part of a very
interesting collection of Colcoptera I recently had the pleasure of
inspecting under his kind auspices.

Allied to both C. Tarandus, Thunb., and C. Mnissechii, Thorns,
(comparing specimens of similar development) ; from the former
it is at once distinguished by the pale chestnut and non- aeneous
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, VVestw. 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. Dehaanii, Westwood, from
which, however, the peculiar sculpture of the elytra, as well as
the armature of the mandibles, readily distinguish it.

This interesting new species is allied to C. plalycephalus, Hope
(vid. Westw. Or. Ent. p. 17, pi. viii. fig. 2), but is abundantly
distinct; it differs in the form of its mandibles (which in C. pla-
lycephalus 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. plalycephalus, is of a darker colour than the $, 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. plalycephalus to his suh-genus Cyclophlhalnnis ; 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 Curculionidce.

Although no mention of the sex is made in the Rev. Mr. Hope's

specimen to represent the female. 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

In general form and structure of its mandibles, this species

[This curious insect differs so much from the other groups of

aspect it bears a strong resemblance to the large flat Indian
Plalyprosopi, Sec, it differs from them all in the 4-jointed clava of
its antennaj and dilated sides of the prothorax ; from P. Antceus,
Hope, &c., it is distinguisiicd by the structure of the anterior

Upon a recent visit to several of the chief collections of Cole-
optera on the continent, 1 ascertained that Dorcus Tityus was
there represented as being the D. ChevrolatU, Hope, Ann. Nat.
Hist. xii. 364, and Cat. pp. 20 and 6; this is evidently erroneous,
the type of D. ChevrolatU, which is now before me, proving to
be a var. max. o^ Dorcus Saiga, OHvier. There ought to be no
mistaking the two species, according to the description of the
mandibles of D. ChevrolatU, " 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.
Saiga, D. cribriceps, Chevr., and D. purpurascens, Voll., all three
species belonging to the genus Eurytrachelus of Mr. Thomson.

Having examined the type specimen of E. semirugosus, Thom-
son, Cat. p. 422, I have no hesitation in regarding it as the var.
min. of £. Tityus.

The present species was collected by Mr. Wallace, and is allied
to E. Ceramensis, Thomson (vid. Cat. p. 424), but which is pro-
bably identical with D. concolor, Blanchard. The general colour
of E. Thomsoni is of a somewhat polished black (and not, as in
Ceramensis and concolor, rufo-piceous), with the disc of the elytra
remarkably shining, contrasting strongly with the remainder of the
insect ; whereas, in the allied species alluded to, the colour of the
insect is uniform, the sculpture being granulose and opaque. The
tibiae appear also to be shorter, with the tarsi more slender ; the

48 Major Parry's Catalogue

clypeus is of a totally different form, being considerably broader
and more deeply emargiiiate ; and, finally, the mandibles interiorly
are strongly excised at their base. I have nuicli ])leasure in
dedicating this species to James Thomson, Esq., of Paris, the
well-known American entomologist.

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 LucanidcC
and forming part of his own rich collection, 1 am enabled to
clear up many points of interest with reference to the synonymy
of certain species. As regards D. Axh $ , there can be no doubt,
as already noted by Dr. Burmeister (vid. Handb. v. 38.5), that it
is the var. minor of D. Bucepliolus $ , Perty, also from Java; but
I do not feel disposed to agree with M. Reiche (vid. Ann. Soc. Ent.
Fr. Ser, 3, i. 79) as to its identity with D. eurycephahts, Burm.
Handb. v. 387, the description of the following characters in the
latter species exhibiting such a marked diflPerence from 1). Axis 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 sej)a-
rate intervals, the interior sides clotiicd partially with a thick silky
pubescence (as in E. Sai<^a), and the antenn;i: want the two slender
hairy filaments preceding the clava, which are prominently to be
recognized in D. Axis, Titan, Saii^a and other species of this group.

M. Reiche (ubi sup.) is prol)abIy correct in regarding D. cury-
ccphalus, Burm., as identical with L. Babalns, 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 Buhalus, Perty, or Eurycc-
plialus, Burm., and feel doubtlul whether they are a distinct species,
or only the var. min. of one of the allied species.

M. Reiche further states the $ of D. Axis to be D. cxaratus,
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 Lucanida?, p. lUC) ; it is now before
me, and is clearly identical with Durcus liiicaloputictalus ?
of Mr. Hope's Collection, described in his Catalogue, p. 23 ;

of Lucanoid Coleoplera. 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
furm any decided opinion for the present. I incline to regard it
as the var. min. of E, Tityus, Hope.

Lucanus inermis, Fab. Syst. El. ii. 251, 17 ( ? ? sec. Burm. 1. c).
Dorcus inermis, Hope, Cat. p. 6 ( ? ).

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

L. mandibulis exsertis, inermibus, capitis thoracisque lateribus
punctatis.

Hab. Sumatra.

Statura et summa affinitas L. parallelepipedi, at mandibulae in-
ermes ; caput punctatum ; thorax dorso Isevi nitido, lateribus
punctatis ; elytra subpunctata ; corpus nigrum.

Dr. Burmeister is evidently of opinion that the species in
question is a female, and belongs to the family Dorcidce. 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 inermis 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. $, 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, tbus 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 yEgits, although no allusion to it

is made by Messrs. Hope, Burmeister or Reiche. In this re-
spect I feel disposed to agree witli Mr. M'Leay ; and, altlioiigli
unable to determine the species, have placed it in the catalogue
with the genus ^Hgus.

DoRcus Klugii $ , 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. Dehaanii, the $ and J of which
species were originally described by Mr. Hope in the Trans.
Linn. See. 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.
Head excavated and punctured in front, smooth behind; between
the eyes are two very prominent conical tubercles. Clypeus
prominLMit, triangularly emarginate. Prothorax and elytra of the
same width, indistinctly but coarsely punctured on the sides.
Scutellum triangular, sparsely punctate. The anterior and pos-
terior tibiae 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, tibiae are so utterly
anomalous, as to leave some doubt wlictlier it be really a female,
or a male with short undeveloped mandibles ; an acquaintance
with both sexes might perhaps remove it to the genus Eurj/tra-
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-
rnen 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 1 believe it to be iden-
tical with ^gus cicatrosus 2 , of Wiedemann, a not uncommon
insect from Java, which is the female of JEgus 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,
^vill 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.

iEcus cicATRicosus, Wiedemann, Zool. Mag. II. i. 108 {Liicanus).

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 /Eg. aciimhialiis, Fabricius. Count Dejean, in
Jiis Catalogue, regards it as a distinct species, and M. Keiche
takes the same view (vid. Ann. Soc. Ent. Ser. 3, vol. i. p. 82),
stating both sexes to be in Count Dejcan's Collection, but I am
not aware upon what ground iM. Reiche supposes the <J to which
he alludes to be that of cicalricostis 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 Dejcan's
Collection (belonging to Mr. James Thomson) ; it is the var.
minor of /Egus c/iclifcr, 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

collections possessing long series of the various species of yEgus
from Java, but I have never yet detected JEgus cheUfer of M'Leay
as coming from that island.

Fab. Syst. El. ii. 252, 19. Sumatra.

Burm. Handb. der Ent. v. 400. Sumatra and
Java.
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. c,
records the species as distinct, from Java as well as from Sumatra,
placing it next acuminatiis of Fabricius, which belongs to that sec-
tion of yEgus 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
yEgus acuminatiis 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.

iEous Kandiensis, 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 y^E. cica-
tricosus, Wiedemann. (The insect in Mr. Hope's Collection under
the name of cicatricosiis, Wiedemann, appears to be only the
var. minor of acumhmlus, 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 yEg. acuminatiis 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 /Eg. acuminaius ; in this respect

54 Major Parry's Catalogue

it accords with Mg. chelifer (var. max.)> Vji't 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.

^Gus 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 /Eg. acxminatus (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 acum'inatiis ; the sides of the elytra are also apparently
smooth, whereas in the var. max. of acuminalus they are strongly
punctate. Allusion has been already made {ante, p. 52) to the
identity of this species with ^gus cicatricoxus $ of Mr. Thom-
son's Collection (olim Dejean), and to the uncertainty, as men-
tioned in Dejcan's Catalogue, of Java being its true locality.

The insect in the Faune de I'lle de Woodlark, p. 27, under the
name of yEgiis chelifer ?, M'Leay, probably represents the var.
minor cither of A^g. insipidus, Thomson, or of plali/odon, Parry,
both species having been recently received rather abundantly
from New Guinea and Celebes.

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. 5d), 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 disc 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 suffi-
ciently open to allow the extraordinarily developed outer flattened
lobe of the maxillae to lie exposed on the underside of the base of
the mandibles, figure 5 c representing the mentum with the exposed
lobes of the two maxillae, the maxillary palpi and the terminal
joint of the labial p;ilpi in situ ; whilst fig. 5d represents the
labium 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 antennae 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 disc 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 polislied 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 5th and 6th striae
being united at their extremities. The anterior tibiae 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 capitntiis,* Westw.
(Trans. Ent. See. 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. parnllelus, Hope (Cat. Lucan.), from the
Khasyah Hills, whilst Major Parry's insect is from Darjeeling.
The D. parallclus is indeed considered by Major Parry to be a
small variety of D. capilalus ; but the latter is from Malacca
and Prince of Wales' Island, and I should be inclined to regard
D. parallclus rather as the varietas minor of Z). lah'dis. D. s'niister
(Hope, Cat. Lucan.), also from Prince of Wales' Island, is, doubt-
less, the female of Z). capitatus, as Major Parry suggests. 1 have
also scarcely any doubt that the female insect named D. Malaba-
r'lcus (Hope, MS. ; Westw. Trans. Ent. Soc. iv. 27(5) is identical
withZ). sinister ; and in like manner I also consider that D. a'qualis
(Hope, MS. ; Westw. Trans. Ent. Soc. iv. 270) 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 i)ronotum destitute of the punctured impression
in the middle.

There is but little doubt, from the shortness of the mandibles
in comparison with the size and general appearance of the insect,
that the former have not in the present instance attained their full
development, and that in other specimens they will probably be
found to be of a different character. In the female the mandibles
are armed in the middle with a triangular tooth ; the head and
prothorax deeply and coarsely punctured, the anterior tibiae being

and sparsely punctate, with a deepish fovea in front of the eye.
Mandibles slender, armed at the base with a strong obtuse de-
flexed tooth, followed by two small tubercles ; in front of these is
a deep sinus. The prothorax is somewhat broader than the head,
shining, very minutely punctured, the punctures more apparent
towards the sides, which are straight, the posterior angles being
obliquely truncate. The elytra scarcely as broad as the pro-
thorax, with C — 7 longitudinal striae, faintly punctate, the inter-
stices being smooth ; humeral angles very prominent. Anterior
tibicB armed with 5 spines, intermediate with 2, posterior un-
armed. Body beneath thickly and coarsely punctate.

The female, whicb in colour and depressed form resembles the
male, differs from that sex in having the interstices of the elytra
thickly and strongly punctate. As is the case in the other species
of this genus, the armature of the mandibles is subject to con-
siderable variation ; in small male specimens the subapical tooth
is entirely wanting.

One of the minor species of the genus, remarkable for its

scarcely emarginate, in the rounded sides of the prothorax, and
in the more delicate striation of its elytra.

A single $ specimen of this interesting new species was re-

the gcnn^ j^gus, differing, however, in the short convex character
of the elytra, and more especially in the singular trilobate lateral

regarded as the type of a new genus.

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,
Guerin, 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. Lessonu, Buquet (Ann. Soc.

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
tibiae have six teeth on the outer edge, and the four posterior tibiae
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 gcnvis ; 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,
sunicicnlly warrant the creation of the jiroposed new genus. The
above characters distinguish the insect from tliose smaller species
of the DorcidiC appertaining to the genera Sclcroslumus and

Lissotes Menalcas, Westw.

This species appears to form the connecting link, through the
genus Nig'idius, between the Dorcidce and Figulidce.

L. Howittanus, Westw., exhibits a marked difference from
L. Menalcas in the character of the prothorax ; but its similarity
to that species in other respects, and its close affinity in appear-
ance to Nigtdius, have induced me to locate it for the present at
the end of the genus Lissotes, immediately preceding the Figulidce.

A second description of this species will be found in the Ento-

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
tibia; appears to be most variable in this genus ; no instance,
however, being known to me in which they are entirely wanting.

The aberrant characters exhibited in this singular insect from
Malacca (vid. 1. c), recently described from a uniijue specimen
in Count Mniszech's Collection, preclude the possibility of assign-
ing, with any degree of certainty, its true position in tlie Luca-
noidea. It is even, I believe, still a matter of doubt among many
Entomologists whether the species in question ought to be referred
at all to this division of the Coleoptera. 1 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.

Figulus vulneratus, Thomson, Cat. p. 433.

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. anlhraci7ius, Klug (vid. Ins. v. Madagasc. 85, n. 11(5),
differing only in the confused position of the punctures forming
in the normal state the dorsal striae by which the elytra are
characterized. Mr. Thomson (p. 402) appears to be of the same
o|)inion with Dr, Burmeister as to this species being synonymous
with Fig. sublcevis of Palissot de Bcauvois, 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. Manillaru}n, 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. scaritijormis 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 cylindr'icum
has been erroneously described as a distinct species under the
name of »S'. Americanum; but not being acquainted with the type
specimen, the present remarks can only be taken therefore as
conjecture.

The marked affinity shown in several respects by this species

VOL. II. THIRD series, PART I, MAY, 1864. F

66 Major Parry's Catalogue

to some of the sub-genera belonging to the Dynaslidce, 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. c.) remarks that this insect approximates both
to Lamprinia and B/ii/ssojwtus. Professor Westwood, in his notice
of the species (vid. 'J'r. Ent. Soc, N, S., vol. 3, p. 213), regards
it as an obscure representative of SphenognathuSf with the mouth
of a Sinode?idron, 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
LamprlmidcB, mentions that from the remarkable character of its
legs the species appears to be rather allied to the Dynaslidce than
to the Lucanidce. 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 Slno-
dendron, thus establishing the connecting link between the Luca-
noid Coleoptera and the Di/nastidce.

Note. — At one or two recent meetings of the Entomological Society, " di-
morphism" or " polymorphism" lias 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 necessaiy 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.
