Notes and News. 



The Rev. A. Matthews establishes** the new genus Corylophodes which is ex- 

 ternally distinguished from Corylophus by the antennae having 11 joints (9 in Cory- 

 lophus) by the small thorax with the posterior angles either obtuse or rectangular 

 (produced and acute in Corylophus), and by the elytra being much broader than the 

 thorax. The mouth parts are said to differ strikingly in the two genera but are not 

 described. 



The new genus includes Corylophus marginicollis and tnincatus from North 

 America, two species from the Sandwich Islands and a number of species from Central 

 America, the old genus Corylophus being restricted to the two European species and 

 a third from the Atlantic Islands. E. A. SCHWARZ.
