ODONTOCEPHEUS, Berl.

This species like its allies of the genus Carabodes is 



xylophilous. 

 Cheshire, Cumberland, Yorkshire, Scotland, Ireland.

21. Carabodes labyrinthicus, Mich. 66b, 67ab, 68a.

25. Carabodes coriaceus, K. 66b. 



This would seem to be a southern species, as Michael 

 calls it common (B.O.). It has not been recognised 

 in Scotland or Ireland, and I have seen one 

 specimen only (from Chester-le-Street). 



26. Carabodes femoralis, Nic. 66ab, 67a. 



Epping Forest, Cumberland, Scotland. 



B. — Sub-family Oribatinas. 



Legs all lateral and therefore sternal plates with lateral 

 margins diverging backwards. Pteromorphae present, fully 

 developed or vestigial.
