This genus agrees with the typical species of Naupactus in 

 its long and slender antennge and the great length of the 

 second joint of the funicle compared to the first. All others 

 not possessing these characters should be excluded from that 

 genus, as well as those whose elytra are not broader at the 

 base than the prothorax. Some of the latter, like N. duriics, 

 have been referred to Eurymelopus *, and others, like iV, lacer- 

 tosus, to Pantojjlanes. In these genera tlie corbels are open, 



* This genus of Schonherr's has been changed in the ' Munich Cata- 

 logue ' into Metoponeiirys as being too near Hurymetopvn. If every name 

 among the 80,000 genera of animals is, from a mere similarity of sound, 

 to be changed, except the original, there can be no certainty for many 

 now familiar names ; what will be sulHciently clear for some will not for 

 others, for whom such changes are a delight
