Excerpt from Arcana Entomologica, or Illustrations of New, Rare, and Interesting Insects, Vol. 1 of 2 As M. Rhinophyllus is the only Species hitherto described be longing to the group Mycteristes, I consider myself very fortunate in being enabled, by the kindness of H. Cumino, Esq, to commence the present work with a description and figures of both sexes of a new species brought by him from the Philippine Islands. A pair only of this beautiful species were taken, and they are destined for the cabinet of the British Museum. From rhinophyllus, however, they differ in several respects. The body inthe male (fig. 1 and 1 a) is shorter, broader at the base Of the elytra, which are more ﬂat tened and triangular behind, and destitute of the scales which orna ment rhinophyllus; the thorax is exceedingly brilliant and polished, and the horn at its fore part is much defiexed and strongly notched at the tip, with a tubercle within; the horn of the clypeus is also furnished with a tubercle in front. The female (fig. 2) is smaller, and has the head and thorax unarmed, the elytra flatter, and not so triangular. The mesosternum (fig. 1 f) is Slightly porrected in front. And does not extend lower than the front of the metasternum. The parts of the mouth (fig. 1 b, mandible of the female, 1 c, max illa, 1 d, instrumenta labialia of the male, 1 e, 'ditto of the female) scarcely differ from those of rhinophyllus; the horny, lanceolate part of the mandibles is, however, shorter; there appears to me no difference between the palpi of the two sexes. The legs of the male are larger than those of the female, but the anterior pair are not so long as in rhinophyllus, and the fore tarsi are not so long as the tibiae. All the tibiae in the male are clothed for about half their apical portion on the inside with fine hairs. They are all un armed with teeth a very slight angular prominence on the outside of the four posterior tibiae obscurely indicates the place of the ordi nary teeth. The ungues are particularly large, and between them at the base is a very small plantula, with two very short pseud onychias. The anterior tibiae of the female are armed with three teeth, and the four posterior with one on the middle, and two at the tip, with two calcaria.

Excerpt from Arcana Entomologica, Vol. 2 of 2: Or Illustrations of New, Rare, and Interesting Insects They are slow and steady in their movements, and evidently of great rarity. I have received statements of similar habits exhibited by several other Indian and Javanese species; and Mr. Westermann states that the eight species of the family captured by him, were all taken accidentally in houses by night, flying about wood, whence he conceives them to be nocturnal and xylophagous. (Silbermann, Rev. Ent. No. 3.) A species of Paussns was received by M. Dupont from Senegal, with the statement that it had been observed to crepitate like the Bombardier beetles; and M. Payen informed M. Lacordaire that the species which he had detected in the Moluccas and isles of Sunda, possess the same power. (Lacord. Introd. ii., p. 57.) M. Verreanx at the Cape of Good Hope, and Mr. George MacLeay in Now Holland, have detected species of Paussidce in ants' nests: the latter having also observed that the species of Cerapterus captured by him crepitates. A new species of this genus has recently been received by Mr. Hope from Port Philip, with the observation that it had been found under dried cow-dung as well as under the loose bark of trees. Afzelius also states that in looking at one of his specimens of Paussus sphfcrocerus (remarkable for the globular, glossy, and pale-colourcd club of its antennae) in the evening, and happening to stand between the light and the box in which it was enclosed, so that his shadow fell upon the insect, he observed, to his great astonishment, the globes of the antennae, like two lanthorns, spreading a dim phosphoric light. He adds, however, that he was "prevented from ascertaining the fact by reiterated experiments," as his specimen died. May not the reflected light falling upon the semipellucid livid-coloured balls of the antennae give them the described appearance ? Or, may it not be accounted for precisely in the same manner as the light emitted by the shining moss mentioned in Loudon's " Magazine of Natural History," (No. xv. p. 463, ) by the late Mr. Bowman ? In their geographical distribution the insects of this family, hitherto known, are natives of the old world, if we except the species represented in plate 50, f. 2, which Mr. Miers has brought from Brazil. The others arc from tropical and southern Africa, India, the islands of the Indian Ocean, and New South Wales; and one from tho Balkan Mountains in Turkey.
