Genera and Species of Coleoptera. ne: 
the outer, both densely ciliated, their palpi long, with the last joint 
securiform; labium thin, quadrate, fringed anteriorly, its palpi sub- 
filiform, rather elongate, arising from near the centre of the labium ; 
mentum subtransverse, rounded at the sides, peduncle of the jugular 
plate as broad as the labium; prothorax broadly ovate, constricted in 
front, so as to form a sort of collar; scutellum triangular; elytra much 
broader than the prothorax, gradually tapering behind, rounded at the 
apex; legs rather short, tibise terminated by two spines, basal joint of 
the anterior tarsi short, the intermediate and posterior gradually longer; 
body beneath slightly hairy, the abdomen with a reddish tinge. Length 
5 lines. 
The above description is from a female. A male which I believe 
belongs to this species is smaller, more hairy, the terminal joint of 
the antennze much longer, and the abdomen without the reddish 
tinge. 
Gokrymes [ Cantharidee]. 
Caput magnum, fronte convexa; oculis reniformibus. Antenne breves, 
frontales, articulo primo subtrigono, incurvato, in sulco infra oculos 
recepto, secundo tertioque brevibus, reliquis flabellatis. Tibi uni- 
calcarate. Zarsi breves, unguiculis simplicibus. 
The nearest ally of this genus is Sitarida, White, from which, inter 
alia, it differs, as it does from every other of the family, in its flabel- 
late antenne, which resemble Hvamocera in the nearly allied group 
of Rhipophoride. The difference between the antenne of the two 
genera, however, requires to be more clearly contrasted. In both 
they are 11-jointed; but in Sttarida the first four are simple, while 
each of the remaining seven throws out laterally and at the base a 
short square lamina—this portion of the antenna being, in fact, pec- 
tinate. In Goétymes, the first three joints only are simple, the 
remainder being drawn out into long lamine, closely applied to each 
other at the base, and forming a compact mass when at rest. For 
the protection of this delicate part in repose, there is a groove be- 
neath the eye, which receives the basal joint, and thus allows the 
whole antenna to be kept well under the head and breast ; and this 
purpose is facilitated by the antenna not arising in the space formed 
by the emargination of the eye (which, I believe, is almost invariably 
the case whenever that organ is reniform or emarginate, and which 
is apparently so constructed for the express purpose), but below this 
space, and in front of the inferior portion of the eye. It may be 
added that the emargination above mentioned is occupied by a 
short, obtuse process, a simple development of the front.
