Gallerucidides and " GallerucidicRj* 
Chaudoir, Bull. Mosc. xlv. 1, p. 416, proposes to establish under one of 
these names a distinct group, intermediate between his * Lebiides ' and 
^ Tetragonod^rides,' and founded on Lebidia, Moraw., and Gallerucidia 
[Galer-~\f g. n.,p, 417, which, agreeing with Lebia in having no epilobes to 
the mentum, differs from it in the want of an emargination at the inner 
apex of the intermediate tibiae of the , and in the anterior and intermediate 
tarsi of that sex having 2 rows of squamulae beneath. From Lebidia it 
differs in the shorter lobes of the mentum, the less elongate antennae, whereof 
the first 4 joints are glabrous, and the more slender tarsi, and very pro- 
minent eyes. G. octonotata, p. 418, Rio Janeiro, basinotata, p. 419, Ega, 
dimidiata, p. 420, Cuba, id. I. c. spp, nn. The elytra of all this group 
are never truncate, and the form and clothing of their tarsi beneath recalls 
those of Sarothrocrepis. 
Pericalides, 
Catascojms oxygonus^ Chaud., is now considered not distinct from angulatm ; 
C. ceneus, Mots., nec Saund., is named fuscoceneus ) C. amoenus, Chaud., = 
elegam, var., of which C. australasice, Hope Coll., is also a var., named 
celebensis (with which C. lateralis, BruUe, is queried as identical), and 
another var. from Cape York is named cyaneus ; C. versicolor, Saund., ? = 
acideatus, badly developed ; C splendidus, Saund., = costnlatus, Chaud. ; 
C. suhquadratm, Mots., ? = rujipes, Gory ; and general observations on the 
genus are made : Chaudoir, R. Z. (2) xxiii. pp. 244-250. 
Periblepusa elaphroides, Redt., = Scopodes {Helceotrechus) elaphroideSfW hite. 
Scopodes (ligula and front tarsi of (5 described) is apparently allied to Sphallax, 
Bates, = Actenonyx, White ; and these two genera cannot be placed near 
Catascopus or Pericalus, but should probably form a separate group near the 
Lachnophorides. Id. Bull. Mosc. xlv. 1, pp. 390-392.
