Full description of the family and generic characters, and discussion of 

 their significance. Bibliography of the genus. " This insect cannot prop- 

 erly be considered a member of any of the families, or even series of fam- 

 ilies of Coleoptera, as at present constituted," but " it is related to several 

 of the series" and "represents a fragment of a very old fauna," of which 

 the existing forms of insects contain a greater number of survivals than 

 any other land animals, and can be recognized and separated, and are so 

 numerous " that we will have a (juite respect<able mass of material for the 

 partial reconstruction of the insect-fauna of past ages ; especially if studied 

 in connection with g'jographical distribution; — we would have by this 

 depuration the evolutions of the present geological age more distinctly sep- 

 arated and defined in our systems of classification; and we would also be 

 able to ascertain their proper connection (ideal or genetic, or both) with 

 those which existed in i)ast time." [See Rec, Nos. 580, 804.]
