Donovan's B. cancellata is surely a distinct species, the serrated
margins of the elytra and other characters would separate it. I have not
seen the work of the Reverend F. Hope, referred to by Messrs. Gory and
Laporte, so that I am not aware whether the specific name roei or
dejeaniana had the priority in publication.

Helaeus echidna, new species. Illustration 20 Insects 3.
H. elytris triseriatim spinosis.

The dilated sides of thorax meeting in front, and projecting beyond head,
a short spine in the middle near the hind margin. Elytra with two rows of
spines close to the suture, and another close to the edge, where the
dilated part commences: the central rows of spines are not continued to
the tip, the spines being placed irregularly; they are also much larger
than those of the side row. General surface of thorax and elytra very
smooth, shining, the dilated parts of thorax and elytra with the surface
somewhat undulated.

EMCEPHALUS, Kirby Zool. Journal 3 page 524.

Emcephalus (Cilibe) tricostellus, new species.

Much larger than the E. gibbosus, of a dirty brown, glossed, and wide
margin of elytra flat, the extreme edge somewhat turned up, the sides of
the elytra at base are somewhat straight, but the edge soon gradually
gets rounded off towards tip. Towards the suture the elytron is raised so
as to form a very prominent keel down the back of elytra; the general
surface of the elytra is somewhat pustulose, and there are three slightly
elevated, longitudinal lines, nearly meeting (but indistinctly) behind on
the convex part of each elytron. The middle of thorax is more shining
