 Note. — It is here that the genus Lissodema, Curt, 

 should be placed, instead of among the Engidce, for 

 its type is an insect congeneric with the Sphceriestes 

 quadri pustulatus, Marsh, which was the original 

 type of Mr. Kirby's genus Splicer testes, but the 

 Sph. niger having been treated as such, and as there 

 are evidently two forms of structure in the antennae 

 of the genus, it will be convenient to treat those in 

 which the club is gradually formed, of which the 

 type is the niger, and to which the one-figured be- 

 longs, as the genus Sphceriestes, and those in which 

 the club distinctly consists of three joints, as Lisso- 

 dema.
