- Y exclude from this tribe two genera placed in it by Latreille, 
(Mastigus Hoff. and Scydmenus Latr.), but which, having little 
affinity with it, had better stand by themselves, and then divide

tennæ (serricornes), and the second those with clavated (clavicornes). 
* By this term I distinguish the phosphoric spots on the thorax of Elater noctilucus, 
and those also on the ventral segments of the abdomen of Lampyris, : :
