pill, both directed inward and forwurd. Ventrally the trochanter 

 (fig. 40) with three successive knobs, the first ])roxinially and 

 inside, the third almost in the middle of the joint ; on tlii» 

 knob is planted the distal bristle, whilst the proximal one 

 is situated more proximally and yet in the median line of the 

 joint, so that the two bristles are planted one behind the other. 

 Distally and inward a small transparent triangular pin. Femur 

 like in the deutonyrapha with a proximal and outer bristle, 

 and a middle and inner deeply bifid hair, of Avhich the hind 

 tooth is bristle- or thorn-like, whilst the fore half is knife-

Though Hering's memoir was presented to the Academy 

 on the 30^'^ of September, 1835, we read in Engelmann's 

 Bibliotheca Zoologica, that it is printed in 1838. Also the 

 volume 18 in which it appeared is printed in two parts, viz. 

 part I in 1836, and })art II in 1838; in this latter part 

 appeared the paper of Hering. I am obliged to point out this 

 fact, because acorologists commonly write 1836 as the date 

 of appearance of Hering's paper.
