Various types of form occur among the Eumol- 

 pidae, which have hitherto not been characterized. 

 No group has probably been more neglected than 

 the Chrysomeloidea ; the genera are numerous, and 

 the families composing it are so intimately connected 

 that it is almost impossible to say to what genus 

 an insect belongs, so imperfect is our acquaintance 

 with these richly metallic and magnificent insects. 

 In the Fauna Boreali Americana, at page 209, will 

 be found the characters of Adoxus of Kirby. The 

 present short description of Corynodes, is sufficient 

 to mark generically, an insect universally known 

 and different in various minor points from the type 

 of true Eumolpus. 



Corynodes, Hope.
