412 Mr. Wesrwoop’s Illustrations of the 
eyes. I have also given a careful representation of the maxilla and the ante- 
rior tibia, showing the peculiar construction of the subapical notch ; and have 
added a figure of the underside of the head with the various organs in situ, 
from which it will be seen that there is a curved elevated line across the 
middle of the produced central part Supporting the mentum, but I very much 
doubt whether there be any actual articulation at this place. On each side 
of this central part is a deep impression, having an elevated ridge running 
down the middle, forming two deep canals on each side, the interior of which 
serves for the action of the base of the maxilla, whilst the external forms a 
fossula for the concealment of the antenna when withdrawn beneath the 
head. 
In the “Iconographie des Coléoptéres” of Messrs. Dejean and Boisduval 
(vol. i. p. 176) a genus was proposed under the name of Axinophorus, consist- 
ing of two species, 4. Lacordairei and A. Lecontei, 
the vicinity of Rio Janeiro, and the latter North Ameri 
to the Spécies Général, Dejean having ascertained th 
identical with Pseudomorpha as well as with the gen 
only by Illiger in the sixth volume of the 
republished his descriptions 
Drepanus, giving 4. Leconte 
the former inhabiting 
ca. In the Supplement 
at this new genus was 
us Drepanus, indicated 
“ Magazin der Entomologie" (p. 344), 
of the Avinophori under the generic name of 
i as probably identical with Pseudomorpha ex- 
crucians, K. On comparing the figure given of 4. Lecontei in the Icono- 
graphie with the authentic specimen of Pseudomorpha excrucians, now in the 
collection of the Entomological Society, it is unquestionable that they are 
specifically identical, so that the name Lecontei must sink into a synonym ; 
and in like manner I feel disposed to preserve the generic name proposed by 
Mr. Kirby in preference to that merely indicated by Illiger.
