Tribe BASITROPINI. 
If the Tophoderes described by Heyden from Rott belongs here, this 
tribe is equally represented in the European and American Tertiaries. In 
Europe, besides the species mentioned, an amber species (undescribed) 
has been referred by Berendt to Anthribus, and three species have been 
referred to Anthribites, two from Oeningen, and one, known only by bor- 
ings, from Niederlausitz. In America we have a species of Anthribus from 
Florissant, one of Brachytarsus from Green River, and three of Cratoparis, 
one from Florissant and two from Green River. 
ANTHRIBUS Geoffroy. 
The species of this typical genus of the family, not numerous, are 
found in both worlds, and mainly in the northern hemisphere. We possess 
but a couple of species found in the Atlantic States. A single fossil species 
from Florissant, Colorado, is placed here.
