Trox, Von Harold, C. H. ix. pp. 1-192, monographs this genus (including 
Phoberus, MacL., and Omorgus, Er., Lee), recognizing 93 species, and re- 
ferring to 18 others. After a very minute account of the external anatomy 
of the various forms, and an elaborate dichotomous table, the following ob- 
servations occur (amongst many others referring to the older synonymy of 
certain species): — 0?norgus texanus, hec., = Trox scutellaris. Say, var. ; a 
var. of gemmatus, 01., is described, p. 66 j variolosus, Ydhx.,=radida, Er., of 
which 2 varr. are described, p. 68 ; 2 varr. of denticulatus, 01., are described, 
p. 71, one named carbo ; radula. Boh., nec Er., is named aspendatus, p. 75 ;
