INSECTA. 511 
B. Anthobia (Glaphyride Mac L.). Elytra shorter than abdo- 
men, mostly dehiscent towards the apex. Last dorsal segment of 
abdomen (pygidiwm) surpassing elytra. Antenne with nine or ten 
joints, club three-leafed. Mandibles horny, membranous on the 
inner side alone. Maxilla with process membranous, often elongate 
and hirsute. Ligula free, membranous, bipartite, produced beyond 
the horny mentum. 
A small group of beetles, of which Fapricius brought the species 
known to him to the genus Melolontha, but which has just as much 
affinity to Trichius. Most of the species are from the old world, especially 
from the south of Africa, some are met with also in the south of Kurope 
(italy, Portugal). Some species are very hairy ; in some the males are 
distinguished by very long hind-feet with thick thighs; the hooklets of 
the four first feet are mostly bifid. Most of the species are small, between 
au 
we 
and 5’; only few are half an inch or more in size.
