NYSSODRYS (p. 178). 
The characters of this genus given in the original description cited, with the addition 
and correction at pp. 177 and 178, may perhaps suffice to distinguish it from Leiopus, 
Lepturges, Toroneus, and the numerous allied genera; but the study of many new 
species since discovered, and a re-examination of those previously described, reveal so 
great a diversity of forms that I doubt much if the genus can be maintained as hitherto 
defined. The elongate-ovate, convex species, with short stout legs, thickened posterior 
femora, short basal joint to the posterior tarsi, and elongate-oblong lower lobe of the 
eyes, I have already transferred to Atrypanius. I now propose to remove certain other 
species, which have longer hind legs with long peduncles and rather abruptly formed 
club to the femora, and a longer first tarsal joint, to the genus Sporetus, notwithstanding 
the absence, or at least the extreme paucity, of elytral sete. Nyssodrys guttula and 
N. vitticollis come within this category; and they agree better with Sporetus than with
