426 Rev. H. S. Gorham's descriptions, Sfc. 



witli wliicli I have slight acquaintance, I should be in- 

 clined to refer Clioresine to the Malacodermata, probably 

 in the sub-family Melyrides. 



Orthopleura, Spinola. 

 Type, O. damicornis. Fab. 



Enoplium, Latreille. 

 Type, E. serraticorne, Yillers. 

 This European genus is characterized by having ap- 

 parently trimerous tarsi, the basal joint being hidden from 

 view above ; by this character all those species referred to 

 it by Klug, Westwood, and others are separated. 



Enoplium humerale, Horn. G. and H. Cat. p. 1756 = 

 Pelonium militare, Chev. Rev. et Mag. 1876, p. 73. If 

 referable, as is probable, to Pelonium, and not to Eno- 

 plium, the latter name will stand. 



Anisophyllus, Westw. [Trans. Ent. Soc. 1876, iv. 493.] 



Type, Anisophyllus obscurus, Westw. [loc. cit.] 



Mr. Westwood says, " This genus is allied to Eno- 

 plium." The tarsi, however, are given as five-jointed, 

 and, moreover, with all five visible from above. It can- 

 not, therefore, enter into the Enopliid.es without doing 

 violence to the tarsal arrangement adopted by all modern 

 authors, and which seems quite in harmony with the 

 natural affinities observed among the Cleridm. The sub- 

 cylindric terminal joint of both pair of palpi is an unusual 

 character in this family of Coleoptera, but is at least more 

 nearly assimilated to some genera among the Tillides, to 

 which sub-family it will more properly be referred.
