To this genus, as it is at present constituted, it seems probable 

 that the following species belong, rather than to Anthicus, under 

 which I published an account of them, stating, at the .same time, 

 that they diifer from the other species of the genus that had 

 fallen under my observation, viz : — 



Lagrki Ingubris, L. collaris, L. tcrminalis, L. lahiata, and L. 

 Imvressa nob., but the orbicular thorax, the nails being armed 

 with a tooth or abrupt angle beneath, &c., seem to justify, if not 

 the formation of a new genus, certainly a division of the present, 

 under the name of Corphijra. 



[As will be seen ante, 311, these species all belong to Pcdilus.
