Genera of the CossoiiidcB. 531 
divai-icate), — the two together thus constituting a single 
joint, bifurcated at its tip. And from the analogy of the 
similar (though more enlarged) lobes at the angles of the 
joints which precede it, I conclude that these two terminal 
diverging processes do not represent the claws (which seem 
to be altogether absent), but rather the prolongations of 
the anterior angles of the ultimate joint. 
In its habits Onycholips appears to be much the same 
as Pentatemnus and Lipommata, though more decidedly 
fossorial, — its spimdose posterior tibia? being eminently on 
a burrowing pattern ; and it is still more conspicuously 
beset (like so many sand-infesting insects), with remote, 
elongated hairs. Indeed, these latter are not confined to 
the body alone, both the scape and club of the antennge 
being singvdarly pilose. I have captured it in the three 
eastern islands (Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, and Grand 
Canary) of the Canarian archipelago, — where it resides 
on, and beneath, the surface of the sandy hillocks, in the 
vicinity of the coast, which have accumulated gradually 
around the roots of the few shrubby plants which stud 
those arid spots. 
33. Raymondionymus (= Raymondia, ;^ar5, Aube, 
A7in. de la Soc. Ent. de France, 195. 1861). — The 
blind and anomalous genus Haymond'wnymus (or Ray- 
mondia*^, which appears to occur in Mediterranean lati- 
tudes, has somewhat the fusiform outline, rather elongated 
rostrum, and rufo-piceous hue oi Amaurorrhinus ; but its 
funiculus is composed of six articulations (instead of only 
five), its metasternum is shorter still, its tibia? (which have 
no terminal hook) are compressed and triangulai-ly dilated, 
and its feet are short, broad, and thick, furnished with long 
* I I'egret that it should be absolutely necessary to chaTio:e the name of 
this genus,— "Bay7)/o>u7ia" having been preoccupied by M. Fraueufeld, for 
a group of the Diptera {vide Sitzungsb. d. Wien. Acad, xviii. 320), six years 
before it was employed by Aube. In real fact, however, this is perhaps 
the less to be deplored, since I strongly suspect (judging from the diagnosis 
and figure) that Aube's R.fossor is not actually congeneric with the larger 
species which have subsequently been associated with it, — but more properly 
with Alaocyha, as recently enunciated by Ferris ; and if this should be the 
case, it follows that the larger species, of which I would regard the II. Mar- 
queti as the type, have not yet been separated gencrically from the smaller 
ones. Be this however as it may, the title " liaymoncUa'^ must of neces- 
sity be altered ; and therefore, being unwilling to disconnect the group 
with the name of the eminent Coleopterist to whom it was originally dedi- 
cated, I have (rather than take the opposite alternative) proposed for it, 
instead, the perhaps not altogether euphonious one of Eaymondionymns.
