3. On the Coleoptera of the Families ErotyUdce, Endomy. 

 chidce, and Coccinellidre, collected by Mr. H. H. Smith

(Plate XXVII. figs. 6 & 11, 12.) 



The few species representing these families can hardly be re- 

 garded as typical of the West-Indian Fauna, but it will be ob- 

 served that a considerable proportion are described as new. It is 

 hardlv possible, for instance, to believe that the Languriides are 

 onlv represented by the abnormal genus Haj^}uU£s, which also 

 occurs in Colombia. The principal interest of the present collec- 

 tion lies in the wide dispersion it suggests of some minute forms, 

 with the general apparent absence, in the smaller island at least, 

 of the more speciahzed genera, such as JEgithus and Megischyrus.

antennae 11-articidatce, articidis tribus idtimis clavam laxe

formi. Ocidi grosse granulati, magni. Mandihulte apice hijidce. 



Abdomen e segmentis quinque compositum, lineis coxalibus cegre 



distinguendis. 



This name was proposed by Eeitter for some species from 



Colombia which he placed between Ips and Rhizopliagns. They 



are anomalous-looking Coleoptera. Sl. A. Grouvelle considers, 



however, that they are more nearly allied to Languriides, and I 



can see no reason why they should not be so placed. They differ 



however, from the known genera of that group in the following 



particulars : — They are depressed, reminding one of Bhizophagus ; 



the elytra and some parts of the body are pubescent.
