On new Species of Illsteridoe. 223 



XXX. — On new Species 0/ Histeridge and Notices of others. 

 By G. Lewis, F.L.S. 



This paper is the twenty-fii-st of a series on the Histerid;^ 

 published in this Magazine. In it I have established two 

 new genera, which I think will facilitate the study of the 

 Tryponcei, and it is probable before very long it may be 

 desirable to add to this number, for the species hitherto 

 included in Tryponceus are extremely numerous, but at present 

 there is some difficulty in dealing with many undescribed 

 species owing to the uncertainty of it being possible to assign 

 the sexes correctly to each other. There are about fifteen 

 undescribed species in my possession, and I believe that in 

 Ilerr J. Schmidt's collection there are as many again.
