Cerambycides.
H. W BATES (Tr. E. Soc. 1870, pp. 213-325, August, and
391-441, Dec.) concludes his treatise on the Longicornia of the
Amazons by describing the Cerambycides, of which he enumerates
104 genera and 288 spp., many being new. He continues
to adopt the classification established by Lacordaire,
with trifling modifications.
BATES, I. c, recharacterizes his genera Atenizus, p. 243, Niophis, p. 244, and
Zathecus, p. 246, placed by him in the GSmince; places Obrium amazonicum
(White) without hesitation in Hesperophanes (Muls.), p. 259 ; notes the chief
character of the Torneutides, Lac, occurring in the widely distant Chlorida
curia, Thorns, p. 262; describes 4 vars. of Eburodacrys Q-maculata (F.)
from S. America, p. 270; notes connecting links between Peribceum, Thorns,
and Nephalius, pp. 273, 274; incorporates Castiale, Pasc, with the latter,
p. 276; refers Phyton modestum, White, to Haruspex, Thorns, p. 280;
amends his genera Arcestis, p. 309, Dodecosis, p. 310, ASchmutes, p. 331,
Chlorethe, p. 394, Argyrodines, p. 408; refers Euryptera albicollis (Pasc.) to
Ophistomis, p. 313; notes Lacordaire's omission of Sphecomorpha, Newm,
with which Sphecogaster, Lac, is probably identical, p. 314; describes $
of Odontocera pcecilopoda, White, p. 321, and O. mellca, Wh, p. 322, and
cj of O. compressipes, Wh, p. 324; refers Stenopterus braconides, Perty, to
Isthmiade, Thorns, and S. albitarsis (Klug) and Odontocera subvestita,
White, to Phygopoda, Thorns, p. 327, also Ccr. albieornis, F, overlooked
by authors, to Orihoschema, Thorns, p. 391; sinks Heteropalpus, Buq,
as a syn. of Cometes, Serv, p. 440; and gives the following synonymy :—
Styliceps sericans, Lac, = Cerayenia amazonica, Thorns, = C. sericata,
Pasc, but Lacordaire's genus to be used, p. 263; Odontocera chrysozone,
White, = O. (Necyd.) fasciata (01), p. 324; Callichroma assimilatum,
White, — rugicolle, Guer, p. 334; Bhopalophora vidua, Chevr, = atramentavia
(White, List rapt), p. 403; Cosmisoma leprieurii, Buq, = fasciculatum
(01,, Sap.), p. 404; C. semicupreum, Chevr, subvireecens, Wh, = aneicollis,
Er, p. 407 ; Trachyderes cayennensis, Dup, = succinctus (LA p. 430; T.
duponti, solieri, and dejeanii, Dup., scabricollis, Dalm, = bilineatus (01.),
p. 433; Oxymerus hneatus, Dap.-rivulosus (Germ.), p. 435; Lissonotus abdominalis,
Dup, = unifasciutus, Gory, p. 437,
BATES, /. e, characterizes the following new genera and species :-
