As under Pimelia of Fabricius, we found several 

 genera belonging' to modern families, so is it the 

 case with respect to Akis. Platyope of Fischer 

 belongs to the Pimelidae ; Heliodromus, Lophoma, 

 Thalpophila, Tentyria and Hyperops to the Tenty- 

 ridse; while the Tageniadae appear to form alto- 

 gether a distinct family. 



Fabrician Species of Akis. 



Sp. 6. Lineata. — Now a Platyope of Fischer, and 

 is the same insect apparently as Pimelia lineata of 

 Olivier. 



Sp. 8. Glabra.- — Now an Heliodromus of Brulle. 

 The name of Platyscelis has been attached to this 

 and other species ; as however it is used for one 

 of the Caraboidea, it is abandoned.
