Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, 1874-5, Vol. 11 P.s. - Since the foregoing notes were written, I have made a more extended ex amination of the insect, and think it to belong to an undescribed species. It is allied to C. Solidi, Hagen, but is somewhat larger, darker in colour, and with a slightly difierent form of prothorax. The types of solids: are from children's collection, with, unfortunately, no indication of locality. In his Monograph, Hagen, when de scribing C. Breeis, a species from Central and South America, speaks of two examples enclosed in copal. It seems to me scarcely probable that an American species should occur under such circumstances, and quite possible that these entombed individuals may be identical specifically with those new bred from the wood of the cops] tree, for C. Brevis, although decidedly difierent, is yet allied, and a minute examination of insects enclosed in copal or amber is always attended by uncertainty. Two erroneous names have been given for the Kew insect; firstly that of Estantes lateralis, Walker (of. Proc. Linn. Soc., May 7th, and E. Amorous (cf. Nature, ' No. 288, p. 57 probably a misprint, for there is no species of that name) - R. Mol. May 22md, 1874.
