of the terminal joint of the antenne. It will also be seen, (notwithstand- 
ing Dalman expressly says, ‘* Tarsi omnes exacté 4-articulati, absque 
“« rudimento nodi basilaris in articulo unguiculari, subtis ciliati non vero 
** spongiosi,’’) from the fig. 3, D, that there is a rudimental basal 
joint in these organs which will also further exhibit their affinity with the 
genus Catogenus. Dalman was evidently led into this error from an idea 
that if any rudimental joint actually existed it would be the fourth, as 
in Parandra and the Longicornes, and not the basal joint. 
Of this genus there are four species contained in the cabinet of the 
British Museum ; and Messrs. Hope and Children have respectively spe- 
cimens of another species, which the former gentleman received from 
Dr. Klug, under the name of Pass. vittata. 
The species all agree in being less depressed than either Cucujus or 
Catogenus, and also in having the elytra but partially striated, the disk 
of each being smooth and shining. 
The next genus to which I beg to call the student’s attention is that of 
Denpropuacts, Gyll., 
chiefly on account of its approaching the preceding genera not only in 
its elongate form but also in having the ‘tarsorum articulus primus mi- 
** nutus, inferus,’”? Gyll. 
As Gyllenhal has not stated that the underside of the head of this genus 
is produced as in the preceding, we may conclude that it is formed as 
in the subsequent genera.* Still if we notice the similarity in 
the structure of the trophi themselves, (especially the maxille and 
maxillary palpi, and the labium and its appendages,) in Catogenus, 
Uleiota and Cucujus, we shall soon be convinced of the real approxi- 
mation between the genera, notwithstanding the variation in the structure 
of the underside of the head. 
The typeof the genus Dendrophagus is the European species, crenatus ; 
but the British Museum cabinet contains three species (arranged under 
Brontes,) one of which is a remarkable insect. 
Although differing in its elongated form and shorter antennz, yet in 
the majority of its characters, and more especially in the formation of
