418 Mr. G. Lewis on 
specimens compared with the types, and 806 consist of speci- 
mens named in the ordinary course of study. 
The species not represented in my collection number about 
589; and of these 191 have been described by Marseul, and 
most of his types, but not all, are in the Museum of Paris, 
34 others are in the British Museum, and 9 are in the 
Fry Collection. About 133 are species described by Schmidt, 
and the types presumably are in his collection. ‘The remain- 
ing, about 222, are in various collections in Hurovne, America, 
and Australia. The figures I give are approximate only, but 
they are fairly correct. 
Three species described here belong to the Godman Col- 
lection, and the types will be deposited in the British 
Museum later.

pulsata. 
Phylloma corticale, F. Syst. El. i. p. 91 (1801), is at 
present the only species to be included in Phylloma. The 
mentum is transverse and narrow, and the prosternal keel is 
sinuous laterally and not narrowed. The body is very flat. 
Phylloma plagigerum, Lew. Biol. Cent.-Am., Col. vol. ii. 
pt. 1, p. 183, pl. iv. fig. 16 (1888).—This species cannot be 
included in Orphinium by reason of the form of the mentum, 
and it is better therefore to assign it temporarily to Holo- 
lepta, notwithstanding the swollen mandibles. 
PETALOSOMA, gen. nov. 
Body very flat and oblong-ovate; mandibles elongate and 
swollen, not dentate on the inner edge; mentum transverse, 
not very narrow, and deeply incised anteriorly. The head in 
the male is not excavated behind the mentum, but has a very
