Coprides. 
Epirinus armatus. Boh., is a Coptorrhina, and C. granulifera, Har., is pro- 
bably identical with it; Onitis tiicanor, Lec., = c«^er, Boh. ; Onthophagus ad- 
spersipennis, FShr., ex. tgp.,=prasinus, Er. ; O. costipennis, FShr., =/>^/osMS ; O. 
ferrugineiis, FShr., is a Caccohius; O. glaher, ^oh., =interstitialis ; O. incon- 
spicuus, FShr., = Caccohius fidiginosus. Roth ; O. moestus, FShr., = anomaluSy 
Klug; O. ohesus,'F^h.v., = vinctus,'Etr.; O. bituberculatus, ScYiha,=verticicornis, 
Laich. ; O. pedestris and scabrosus,YK\n:.,=2setosus O. reflexicomisy Redt.^ 
turhatus, Walk.,=:sp«m/e^, F. : v. Harold, C. H. x. pp. 205 & 206. Can- 
thonosoma, W. Macl., = Cephalodesmius, and Canth. mastersi, MacL, = Ceph. 
castelnaui, Har. ; and the erection of genera from negative characters is un- 
safe. Merodontus, Macl., a name used by Jekel in the Curculionidcs (1857), is 
close to Eurysternus, one of the Ateuchides ; Onthophagus desectus, Macl., = 
decKvis, Har. ; O. inermis, Macl., = encAsom, Hope : id. I. c. p. 210. 
Caccohius, Thorns. : Jekel, R. Z. (2) xxiii. p. 405 et seq., discusses the cha- 
racters of this genus, which he restricts to schreheri, L., mundus and his- 
teroides, Men^tr., denticollis and ? Jessoensis, Harold, in which the prosternum 
is tricarinate, having a supplementary longitudinal keel, the body is glabrous, 
and the metastemum strongly convex, longitudinally subgibbous in the 
middle, and scarcely channelled. He only finds these characters in the 
above 5 species out of 350 others in his collection.
