Haplocnemus. | SERRICORNIA, 165 
in my single specimen the thorax is much more finely punctured, but 
this does not appear to be always the case. L. 35-4 mm. 
Found under the same circumstances as the preceding ; rare; formerly taken in 
Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens (8. Stevens) ; Hastings (Butler) ; New Forest ; 
Leicestershire, Markfield, &c.; Yorkshire, by beating birches in woods, July (Allen 
Harker) ; Ripon (Waterhouse), 
PHLGOPHILINA. 
This tribe contains the single genus Phleophilus, the position of 
which has been considerably disputed ; in many respects it bears rather 
a strong resemblance to Haplucnemus and its allies, but differs in the 
shape of its antenne, which are moniliform, with the three last joints 
larger ; all the tarsal claws are simple. 
PHL@OPHILUS, Stephens. 
One species only belongs to this genus; it is very local, but occurs 
somewhat commonly under bark in some districts where it is found ; 
it is rather widely distributed in Central Europe, but has not, appa- 
rently, been found in the northern portions of the Continent. 
P. Edwardsi, Steph. Oblong, rather short and broad, moderately 
shining, rather scantily clothed with coarse greyish pubescence, head 
and thorax fuscous, elytra of a dirty testaceous colour with the lateral 
margins fuscous and with variable wavy dark bands and markings ; 
head rather small, thickly punctured, with the eyes small, but distinct 
and prominent, antenne as long as the head and thorax, moniliform, 
with the last three joints thickened and forming a distinct club ; 
thorax more than double as broad as long, narrowed in front, thickly 
punctured, with posterior angles blunt; scutellum rather small, trans- 
verse ; elytra rather broader than thorax, subparallel, slightly wider 
behind middle, closely and rather strongly punctured ; legs testaceous 
or brownish, more or less infuscate. L. 14-3 mm. 
Under bark and in rotten wood ; occasionally by sweeping; rare, but rather widely 
distributed, and sometimes taken in fair numbers where it occurs; Cater- 
ham, Shirley, Weybridge, Esher, Cobham, Barnet, Tonbridge; Mickleham (by 
beating hedges in autumn); Maidstone; West Grinstead; Portsmouth district ; 
Glanvilles Wootton (holly-bushes, &c.); Leominster; Gumley, Market Harborough, 
and Sherwood Forest (Rev. A. Matthews, who has taken it in some numbers in the 
latter locality by beating the old dead boughs on standing trees in October) ; 
Cambridge ; Derbyshire ; Ripon (Waterhouse). 
CLERIDZ. 
According to the Munich catalogue, this family contains seventy-five 
genera and just seven hundred species ; this number has, however, been
