petite excavie tronquee au bout." Unfortunately, the author 

 does not say Avhether his species is wingless or not. The 

 species originally allocated to this genus, now relegated to 

 the list of synonyms of Chlcenius are C. carbnnarius , Dej., 

 and C. stygius, Laferte, both from West Africa. As regards 

 the abbreviated stria 9, which coalesces with the outer 

 margin some distance below the shoulder, the same pecu- 

 liarity occurs in C. clarksoni, raihi, which, though very 

 different from " salisburiensis " in the shape of the mentum, 

 has a facies on a larger, more robust scale, not unlike it, and 

 it is also an apterous species. It appears best placed after 

 C. clarksoni, mihi, or C. chum, Chd., and between them and 

 the Calathus-\\ke group of species, to which C. piceus, Chd., 

 belongs. All these species are apparently wingless and 

 approximate to the genus Sijsiolocranius, Chaud., of the 

 tribe Oodini.
