 granulato-punctate, the greater part of the base round 

 the scutellum fulvous ; body beneath reddish-brown, 

 finely pubescent; legs brownish-testaceous, clouded, the

Necydalin^. 



NecydaUs* minor, Linn., is the type of this subfamily, 

 which, absent from South America, is moderately repre- 

 sented in Europe, more extensively in Malaisia, and 

 sparingly in North America, Australia, and South Africa. 

 It differs from the Molorchinoe in its entire anterior coty- 

 loid cavities with their coxae rarely exserted, and then 

 more or less transverse ; but the form and prominence 

 of the anterior coxae are both frequently questions of 

 degree, as I have, in many instances, pointed out.

* Necydalis , Linn., = Molorclius, Muls., Lacord., vix Fab. As I have 

 given two or three lougicorns the specific name " Necydaloides," and have 

 always referred to Necydalis as represented by JV. minor, it would, were 

 there no other reasons, only tend to confusion, if I now altered it in the 

 sense of the Genera des Coleopt&res. See note ante, p. 562.
