generic title of

BEAUHARNAISIUS,

WITH THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS :—

Aspectus generalis, sicut in genere PreroGosso dicto, attamen rostro delicatule leeviore, necnon alis brevioribus,

Phis is by far the most beautiful section of the entire family.

In the plates and descriptive letter-press they are retained under the old term P¢eroglossus ; but in

future they will stand as above-named.
