his genus is difficult to pn in Lacordaire's .— of classi- 
fication, hne it seems.to me unnatural to place it far from 
scrobes didus certainly not simply foveiform would remove it 
e “groupe” “ Tropiderides.” These are t 
as in Ecelonerus in outline, but differ in commencing in a fovei- 
form excavation, the wall of which is interrupted at its postero- 
genus removes it, however, according to 
-Ecelonerides. The structure of the basal part of the pronotum 
e, 
"s der res vs p albuginosus, Er. are probably con- 
generic with this insect, bet the descriptions of those species seem 
to indicate a different arrangement of the inequalities of the 
elytra, &c.
