Blaps, Fabricius. 

 Blapsidje, Leach. 

 Blaptoidea, Hope. 



This group may not improperly be divided into 

 two or three families ; namely, the true Blapsidae 

 and the Pedinidae ; others add also the Asididae, 

 which I consider as more nearly allied to the Opa- 

 tridae. The genera are numerous, and the following 

 are all characterized.
