Genus Chloeethe. 



Bates, En torn. Monthly Mag. iv. 24 (1867); Lacord. 

 Gen. viii. 398. 



Lacordaire, misled no doubt by tlie character given of 

 '* eyes coarsely facetted/' placed this genus among the 

 doubtful forms of the first section of Ccrambyc'dce. On 

 re-examination, I find that the facets of the eyes would 

 be more correctly described by Lacordaire's term of 

 " subfinement granules.^' They are very similar to 

 the same organs in OrtJtoschema, near which I stated 

 the genus should be placed. The genus, in fact, pos- 

 sesses all the essential characters of Ortlioschema except 

 the antennte, which are short (very little longer than 

 the body even in the S) and have the 3-5th joints 

 thickened, and furnished with long cilia beneath. In 

 general form the genus differs from OrfhoscJicma in 

 being cylindrical and not depressed; the thorax is 

 rounded, and without porrect hind angles.

Genus Coremia. 



Servillo, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1834, p. 22 ; Lacord. Gen. 



ix. 42. 



This name clashes with one of Guenee's genera of Le^n- 

 doptera, over which, however, it has ton years' priority. 



1. Coremia hirtipes. 



Saperda hirtipes, Oliv. Entom. No. 68, p. 14, pi. i. f. 8. 



Linearis, gracilis, nigra; pedibus posticis valde elon- 

 gatis, fomoribus apice clavatis, tibiis apice longe nigro- 

 hirsutis.
