As the very remarkable maxillary palpi of that extraordinary Coleopterous genusAtractocerusseem not to have been so fully described as they deserve, I shall give here a minute detail of their composition. They consist offourjoints: the first is wide and short, and somewhat platter-shaped; the second is much smaller and shorter: the third is concavo-convex, or shaped like a shallow bowl: towards the breast this joint is elevated, and on the elevated edge sits the last joint, which is longer than all the rest taken together. In my specimen it points towards the breast; its under side is entire and slightly curved, but in the upper side are two rows of lamellæ (b), placed alternatelynineon each side, with an odd one at the end: these lamellæ are full of minute papillæ, and furrowed on the side next the mouth. From between the first pair a slender exarticulate hairy branch or appendage emerges (a), which forms nearly a right angle with the main stem. Thelabial palpiappear to consist ofthreejoints; the two first very short, and the last large, ovate, and acute. This description is not taken fromA. necydaloides, but from a Brazilian species more than five times its size, which I have namedA. grandis.[1313]PlateVI.VII.XXVI.e´.[1314]PlateVI.Fig.6, 12. e´.

[1253]I was not aware that Knoch had observed this part, till some time after the publication of my paperOn Mr. William MacLeay's Doctrine of Affinity and Analogy(seeLinn. Trans.xiv. 105—), when I happened to meet with it in a letter from a friend, received more than thirteen years ago; but without any reference to the work of Knoch, in which it was stated. It was doubtless taken from hisBeiträge zur Insektengeschichte.

[1312]PlateXXVI.Fig.1. As the very remarkable maxillary palpi of that extraordinary Coleopterous genusAtractocerusseem not to have been so fully described as they deserve, I shall give here a minute detail of their composition. They consist offourjoints: the first is wide and short, and somewhat platter-shaped; the second is much smaller and shorter: the third is concavo-convex, or shaped like a shallow bowl: towards the breast this joint is elevated, and on the elevated edge sits the last joint, which is longer than all the rest taken together. In my specimen it points towards the breast; its under side is entire and slightly curved, but in the upper side are two rows of lamellæ (b), placed alternatelynineon each side, with an odd one at the end: these lamellæ are full of minute papillæ, and furrowed on the side next the mouth. From between the first pair a slender exarticulate hairy branch or appendage emerges (a), which forms nearly a right angle with the main stem. Thelabial palpiappear to consist ofthreejoints; the two first very short, and the last large, ovate, and acute. This description is not taken fromA. necydaloides, but from a Brazilian species more than five times its size, which I have namedA. grandis.

[1382]M. Savigny is of opinion that the central lancet or lancets represent theEpipharynxandHypopharynx; for which he does not state his reasons: but as these are properly covers of the pharynx, the idea seems incorrect.Ubi supr.15.
