have recently seen many specimens of it from Mustique Island, Gre- 

 nadines, W. I. (H. H. Smith), in the British Museum, where also are 

 to be found the type of Tlialattodora and a co-type of D. mimelicus. 

 This genus has the eyes placed at the sides of the rostrum at some 

 distance from the base (as in the Tropical American genera Ithaura, 

 Pasc, and Dioptrophorus, Faust, of the group Anchoniua), the funi- 

 culus 5-jointed, &c., and is therefore easily recognisable. 



Gononotus lutosus, Lee. {angulicoUis, Chevr., in lift.), from 

 Haulover, &c., Florida, extends to Cuba, whence there is a speci- 

 men in the British Museum. It superficially resembles the Hy- 

 lobiid Pahearctic genus Sfj/phloderes, which was |)laced by WoUaston 

 (with Gotaster, Aparopion and Alaoci/ba) amongst the Cossonids. 



Pentartlirum cj/lindricum, Woll. — This species was described in 

 1861 from specimens found by Mr. Bewicke in the Island of Ascen- 

 sion in April, 1860, in the decayed wood at the bottom of some boxes 

 which had apparently been used for importing plants, the author 

 suggesting that the insects probably came from either the Cape of 

 Good Hope or Mauritius. Later (1873), WoUaston added Brazil and 

 the Malayan Is. as localities. 1 have taken P. c/lindriciim at Tole, 

 Panama, and have also seen it from Honduras, N'caragua, and Brazil 

 (Rio de Janeiro), so there can be no doubt that its real home is in 

 Tropical America. 



Pentartlirum Imttoni, Woll. {hervei, AUard), the type of the 

 genus, was originally described from specimens found in an old cherry 

 tree at Alphington, near Exeter. It extends along the vicinity of 

 both shores of the English Channel, westward round to the He de 

 Re, iu France, and northward to Luiidy Island.* I have seen no 

 other records. 



Stenotrupis exilis, Pasc. — The description of this Pentarthrid 

 was taken from two very dissimilar insects from Aru, which Pascoe 

 supposed to be the sexes of the same species. The female is a true 

 Stenotrupis ; the male, the type, belongs to a totally different genus, 

 and one apparently not characterized by WoUaston. The sexes of 

 the Malayan S. erassifrons have been described, and the male simply 

 differs from the female in having a shorter and broader rostrum. 

 S. exilis, cj, is, therefore, at present, without a genus. 



TomoUps, WoUaston (October, 1873), type T. bicalcaratus, WoU., 

 from Mexico, = WoJlastonia, Horn (September 19th, 1873), type 

 Mhyncolus quercicola, Boh., from North Carolina. — This genus agrees
