  " 
  Tableau 
  Synoptique."

  I 
  give 
  below 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  new 
  genera 
  characterised 
  in 
  

   the 
  " 
  Tableau," 
  and 
  the 
  names 
  of 
  the 
  authors 
  to 
  whom 
  

   I 
  think 
  they 
  should 
  in 
  future 
  be 
  attributed. 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  

   profess, 
  however, 
  to 
  have 
  made 
  an 
  exhaustive 
  search 
  

   through 
  the 
  literature 
  of 
  the 
  period, 
  and 
  there 
  may 
  prove 
  

   to 
  be 
  earlier 
  authors 
  for 
  some 
  of 
  them 
  than 
  those 
  I 
  have 
  

   quoted. 
  Some 
  of 
  these 
  genera 
  are 
  now 
  only 
  synonyms, 
  

   but 
  the 
  great 
  majority 
  are 
  still 
  in 
  general 
  use. 
  One 
  

   genus 
  only 
  disappears, 
  viz. 
  Demetrius, 
  which 
  should 
  be 
  

   replaced 
  by 
  Risophilus, 
  Leach 
  (" 
  Brewster's 
  Edinburgh 
  

   Encyclopedia," 
  ix, 
  part 
  1, 
  1815, 
  Entomology, 
  p. 
  81), 
  a 
  

   genus 
  formed 
  expressly 
  for 
  Carabus 
  atricapillus, 
  L. 
  The 
  

   genus 
  Laemostenus 
  (Laemosthenes) 
  was 
  quite 
  supplanted 
  

   by 
  Dejean's 
  Pristonychus 
  (Spec. 
  Gen. 
  iii, 
  1828, 
  p. 
  43), 
  and 
  I 
  

   do 
  not 
  at 
  present 
  know 
  of 
  an 
  earlier 
  reference 
  than 
  the 
  

   one 
  I 
  have 
  given. 
  

  

  I 
  am 
  very 
  much 
  indebted 
  to 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  Davies 
  Sherborn 
  

   for 
  the 
  interest 
  he 
  has 
  taken 
  in 
  this 
  inquiry, 
  and 
  take 
  this 
  

   opportunity 
  of 
  thanking 
  him 
  for 
  his 
  assistance. 
  

  

  The 
  genera 
  in 
  question 
  are 
  as 
  under 
  : 
  I 
  give 
  them
