The genus Cerobates Schh., widely spread in the oriental, australian and ethiopical regions, is chiefly characterized by having the anterior tibiae notched and strongly toothed on the inner edge, and by having the antennae filiform, not clubshaped; these two characters distinguish it respectively from Trachelizus Schh. and Stereodermus Lac. In Lacordaire’s classification of the Brenthidae ¹) Cerobates belongs to the group Trachelizides, but in the new arrangement recently proposed by Prof. Sharp in the Biologia Centrali Americana ²), the Trachelizides are divided into two groups: Stereodermina and Trachelizina. In the former, Stereodermus, which has the anterior tibiae more or less notched and the hind coxae more than usually distant from one another, is...

Zoological researches in Liberia. A list of the Brenthidae, collected by J. Büttikofer, C. F. Sala and F. X. Stampfli

The small collection of Brenthidae obtained in Liberia by the well-known and successfull travellers Büttikofer, Sala and Stampfli, and submitted to me by Mr. C. Ritsema, amounts to 27 specimens, all belonging to described species. Nevertheless I thought it useful to publish the following list as it throws some further light upon the distribution of the African Brenthidae. 1. Zemioses porcatus Pascoe, Journ. of Entom.

On some Brenthidae collected by Mr. J. D. Pasteur in Hava

Lately I have had the pleasure to receive an interesting collection of Brenthidae from West Java, very kindly offered to me by Mr. J. D. Pasteur to whom I here wish to express my sincere thanks. In the letter accompanying this valuable lot of specimens, Mr. Pasteur gives some remarks on the coloured lines and spots of the elytra in living Brenthidae and says: »Les taches jaunes sont toujours d’un jaune très clair (jaune de paille ou bien de gomme gutte) faisant un vif contraste avec la couleur laque noire des élytres; aussitôt que l’insecte est desséché ces taches jaunes deviennent d’une couleur fade, brune claire ou même foncée.” In my note: Enumeration of the species known as yet from Java 1), treating of Eutrachelus Temmincki Latr., I wrote: »this...

On some new Brenthidae from Java and Sumatra

The present note is based upon a small collection of Brenthidae, belonging to the Leyden Museum, kindly placed in my hands by Mr. Ritsema. The greater number of specimens are from Java and Sumatra, and amongst wellknown species I have found some interesting novelties of which I give here the descriptions.

On some Brenthidae collected by Mr. H. Fruhstorfer in Java

Ano: 1895

Through the courtesy of my colleague Mr. C. Ritsema, I have had the opportunity of examining several Brenthids taken in Java by Mr. H. Fruhstorfer and recently acquired by the Leyden Museum. Among them, there are two species found for the first time in Java and, moreover, a Pseudorychodes new to science. The publication of the description of this latter offers me the occasion of publishing the list of all the species contained in this lot, to which I have added those existing in the collections of the Brussels Museum. Some time ago, Dr. H. J. Kolbe published ¹) two new Javanese Brenthids, viz. Hoplopisthius javanus Kolbe and Carcinopisthius Fruhstorferi Kolbe, obtained by the above named naturalist and belonging to the collection of the Berlin Museum, but...

Among the large series of Brenthids with which Dr. K. Jordan of the Hon. W. Rothschild’s Museum at Tring kindly entrusted me for examination, I found several species of Rhaphidorrhynchus Schoenh. recently described by me from the collection of the Brussels Museum and my own, and two species which I believe to be new to science. But special mention may be made of a new Arrhenodinae-genus which I propose to call Phymechus. Ubanius and Tmetogonus are two new genera of the same subfamily, of which I have added here the description: all may be considered as representative forms of the oriental group Orychodi in neotropical regions.

On the species of the genus Jonthocerus Lac. and description of a new species from Zanzibar

Ano: 1895

Some time ago I have had occasion, in speaking of the genus Cerobates Schh. 1), to note the logical position in the Brenthids arrangement of the genus Jonthocerus Lac. after the suppression of the subfamily Ephebocerinae lately proposed by Prof. Sharp. This position is among the Stereoderminae near Cerobates to which the genus Jonthocerus is allied. In this subfamily, Jonthocerus represents the South American genus Ephebocerus Schh. of the Trachelizinae. The characteristic of all the species of this genus is, in the males, the remarkable development of the eyes occupying often the greater part of the head, and the long and slender antennae clothed with delicate hairs. The females have the eyes smaller and normal, the antennae shorter and more robust; it is...
