DIArHORUS. 159 



towards it. Feet rather long, but not very slender ; the first joint 

 of the hind tarsi without bristles ; the pulvilli of the fore tarsi 

 elongated in the males of all speeies ; in the males of some species 

 the same is the case with the pulvilli of the middle tarsi ; in some 

 with the pulvilli of all the tarsi. The hypopygiuni small, imbed- 

 ded, on the posterior end with stouter bristles. 



The name of the genus (from Sld$opos, different) signifies nothing 

 more but that the species on which this genus was established were 

 remarkably different from the species of previous genera, and is 

 therefore not at all characteristic. 



The known species of Diaphorus are found in Europe, Asia, 

 Africa and America.
