Study of Genera of Coleoptera. 51 



Kugelann's name Mystaxis. Anthicus = Notoxus, Geoft'., 

 and Catops = Ptomaphagus, Hellw. 



Schrank, in his Fauna Boica, proposes four genera, 

 Pilalarius [^Goprisl, Involvulus ]_■= Ithynchites] , Salius 

 [= Rhynchcenus = Orchestes], Qymnopterion [= Mo- 

 lorclius~\ . 



1799. Creutzer, in the Entomologische Versuche, char- 

 acterizes Actinophorus from A. sacer, etc., in which he was 

 followed by Sturm, and has two years priority over 

 Weber. He also proposes Orchestes for Rynchcenus, Clairv., 

 and states that the MS. name Pedetes was likewise in 

 u.se for it. 



Cuvier, in his Tableau Elementaire, proposes the genua 



Platycephalus \_-= Apliodius] . 



Herbst, in his eighth volume, adds three genera, Ahls, 

 Mackla and Stenosis. 



Frohlich, in the Naturforscher, defines five genera as new, 

 but his paper not being published for some years, he was 

 preceded by others : Leistus, Lithophilus, Agyrtes, || Lupe- 

 rus [ = Ptomaphagus], \\ Adiinonia \_ = Dascylus, hatr.]. 



Paykull, in his second volume, adds || Helodes [nee 

 Latreille], Atopa \_ = Dascylus, Latr.], Cyphon [ = Elodes, 

 Latr.J, and Dasytes {D. niger). 



1800. Paykull, in his third volume, further adds Engis 

 \^=Dacne, Latr.], and Phalacrus (P. coruscus) . 



1801 . Fabricius, in his final work, the Systema Eleuth- 

 eratorum, adds a number of new genera, for the most 

 part with their types indicated : Chelonarium, Platynotus, 

 Melandrya, Galerita, Agra, \\ Hydrachna, Imatidium, 

 Adorium [ = Oides, Weber], Colaspis, Aegithus, Allecula, 

 Gapes, \\ Brontes [=Uleiota, Latr.], Trachys, ^sahis, 

 Gnoma, Megalopus, Hylesimis, Lixus. He also uses 

 t Rhynchcenus {nee Clairv.) and f Gollyris {nee De Geer) . 



Weber, in his Ohservationes, characterizes at length 

 eight genera : Ateuchus [ = Actmophorus~\ , Anthia, TacJiy- 

 pus [=■ Garahus'] , Calosoma, Brachinus, Okies, Eumolpns, 

 Emnorphus. Fabricius changed Oides into Adorium, but 

 without giving any reason. 



Lamarck, in his Systems, proposes GoliatJius for Scara- 

 bceus GoUathus \^ = Hegemon, Harris].
