Part V. 



This part deals with the genus Cryptorhynchus and some of 

 the allied genera; of these 34 genera and 93 species have been 

 described and tabulations of the genera and species have been 

 prepared, but as the whole is too length}'- for publication in one 

 part only a portion of the genera and species are now described, 

 and the tabulation of the genera is withheld till the whole of the 

 section is completed.
