PREFACE.

The object of this Nomenclature is to present a Catalogue
of the well-established species of each family, with a refer-
ence to where they are figured and a few of the more im-
portant synonyma.

It is intended for the following purposes : —

1. iVs a list of the species contained in the Museum
Collection. They are marked B.M. in the outer margin.

2. To point out the Desiderata of that Collection at the
period of publication.

3. As labels for the Cabinet.

This list must only be considered as prefatory to a more
complete Catalogue.

The family Passalid.e is chiefly arranged after the
method adopted by Percheron in his first revision pub-
lished in Gucrin's Magazine of Zoology, 1841.

Mr. Frederick Smith has taken every care in the
determination of the species and the references to the
synonyma and figures.

7. Passalus monticulosus, n. s. PI. I. fig. 1.

Convex ; shining black, the mandibles large, bidentate at their
apex, the inner tooth rounded at the apex, deeply excavated
above; the labrum slightly emargiuate in front, deeply punc-
tured, and fringed with ferruginous pubescence ; the front of the
head deeply and irregularly sculptured, not punctured ; the cly-
peus produced on each side into large projecting tubercles, the
right one being notched at the apex, the left one simple and
blunt at the apex ; at the base of these tubercles are small project-
ing ones, from which elevated waved carinae pass backwards,
meeting at the apex of a large slightly elevated tubercle which
has a smaller one on each side, situated in a deep arched exca-
vation ; on each side opposite the eyes is an oblong elevation ;
the antennae have elongate lamellae on the six apical joints, which
decrease in length towards the base. Thorax transverse, and
having a short central stria on the disk not reaching the mar-
gins, and on each side at the posterior angle a rounded fovea ;
the intermediate tibia fringed with ferruginous pubescence. Ab-
domen deeply striate, the striae towards the suture indistinctly
punctm-ed, but at the side being closely sculptm-ed with trans-
verse punctures. Length 1 in. 7 hn.

Passalus crassus, Giierin, MSS. ?

Ver}' convex, black, smooth and shining ; the mandibles por-
rect, slightly curved, very stout and deeply excavated within, bi-
dentate at their apex, the left mandible having two and the right
one tooth at the middle of its inner margin ; the labrum slightly
emarginate ; the clypeus produced, its anterior margin waved ;
on the vertex is a single erect tubercle, from the base of which
pass forward elevated carinae, which terminate in small tubercles
before reaching the margin of the clypeus ; from the tubercles
at right angles is a transverse ridge ; the usual longitudinal ele-
vations within the margins of the eyes are rounded above, and
extend from the vertex to the anterior margin of the head;
within these lateral elevations are deep smooth pits. Thorax
transverse, all its margins rounded, the central channel not
reaching the anterior margin ; about the middle, at its lateral
margins, is a smooth fossulet ; the elytra deeply striate ; the
lateral strise delicately punctured.

Hab. Columbia.

62. Passalus Sagittarius, n. s. PI. I. fig. 2. B.M.

Convex, black, smooth and shining; the mandibles short,
stout, and armed at their apex vsith three obtuse teeth, and also
having a large obtuse one in their middle within ; the inner ex-
cavation of the mandibles smooth and shining ; from the centre
of the head behind, on a line with the vertex of the eyes, rises a
tubercle which projects forwards, forming an obtuse horn — the
usual lateral tubercles at the base are nearly obsolete — the
apex of the horn projects a little beyond the margin of the cly-
peus, which is entire, or faintly notched in the centre; from the
base of the projecting horn pass forwards divergent elevated
carinae, which form obtuse tubercles at the margin of the clypeus,
and also a smaller intermediate one : the three apical joints of
the antenna have elongate lamella; : the labrum has deep
scattered ])unctures, and is emarginate in front. Thorax trans-
verse, having a deep central dorsal channel, a rounded fovea to-

wards the hinder angles, and also a smaller one about the middle
rather more within. Abdomen deeply punetate-striate, several
of the strioe uniting near the apex, as the second and third, the
