Mr. Pascoe, though at first disinclined to sanction the 

 dismemberment of Clytus (see Journ. of Entom. i. 360), 

 recognizes Xylotrechus and Clytantlius as genera, but 

 holds (I believe) that if the old genus is to be broken up, 

 the subdivision mvist be carried further than has yet been 

 done ; and that if any of these groups are to be separated 

 from Clytus, the Anthohoscus group and the Chloropliorus 

 group should be separated from each other. 



It would seem that the only point upon which Messrs. 

 Chevrolat, Mulsant, Thomson, and Pascoe are agreed is 

 this — that the old genus Clytus has become so unwieldy 

 as to require the formation at its expense of several 

 genera ; but it is sufficiently apparent from what precedes 

 that each of these authorities differs from every other of 

 them as to the limits of the groups to be separated, and 

 the contents of the genera to be formed. 



I confess my inability to appreciate, as of generic 

 value, the minute distinctions upon which some of the 

 above-mentioned off-casts from Clytus are founded, and
