family, and leave others to determine its true 

 locality. Some have considered Erodius as belonging 

 to Pimelia, which does not accord with my views, 

 as I regard it as belonging to a distinct family, 

 namely, the Erodiidae of Solier.

The above genera belonging to the Erodiidae, are 

 all, I believe, which are yet published ; the second 

 se ction comprehended by Monsieur Solier under 

 the term Zophosites, evidently requires further sub- 

 division. 



1. Scaurus, Fabricius, 



2. Scaurites, Solier. 



3. Scaurid^e, Hope. 



Only four insects are included in the Systema 

 Eleutheratorum under the genus Scaurus ; from late 

 discoveries, they are greatly increased. I give the 

 tables of the genera (published in the Annales de la 

 Societe Entomologique de France,) by Solier re- 

 lating to this family.
