The locality, Australasia, given by Kirby* is doubtless in error, as I have already 
noted (op. cit.). 
Very abundant in Brazil and northwards to the United States. 
11. Lioderma subnitidum, sp. n. 
Oblongum, depressum, nigrum, subnitidum ; fronte obscure punctulata, dente oculari striis transversis brevibus ; 
pronoto lateribus punctato, stria marginali valida, basi continuata; elytris margine inflexo, sulco rugoso, 
striis dorsalibus validis, 1* brevi, 2* integra ; propygidio grosse et parce, pygidioque dense, punctatis. Long. 
7 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Bobo (Hége). One example. 
This species should follow L. punctulatum, Mars., and it is in some respects inter- 
mediate between that insect and LZ. minutum, Er. The thorax is sculptured as in 
L. punctulatum, but the propygidium and the pygidium are shaped as in L. minutum, 
Er., and Z. rimosum, Mars.; L. subnitidum especially resembles the latter in the small 
size of the punctures and in the absence of fovee on the propygidium.

This genus is closely allied to Platysoma of authors, but differs in being much flatter 
and in having a broader prosternum. ‘The species are subcortical in their habits, and
