Enumerates 7450 species, with alterations and synonyms. The Cocci- 
jielHdce, Erotylidce, and Endomychidce are treated as Clavicornes, and the 
system ends with the Brenthidce : the Brnchidce, under the name Spermo- 
phagidce, immediately preceding the Chrysomelidce.

Following Leconte in separating the Bhynchophora from the " Coleoj)- 
tera genuina,'" on account of their anterior coxal cavities being closed by 
the junction of the epimera, and of their tarsal structure, the author 
divides the latter into Heteromera and Isomera, and the Isomera into 
Tetramera and Pentamera. The Pentamera are composed of LameUl- 
cornes, Clavicornes, Adephaga, and Serricornes, thus respectively sub- 
divided : — Adephaga : Cicindelidce^ Carabidce^ Pseudomorphidce, Amphi- 
zoidce, Haliplidce^ and Dytiscidfe (all queried as sub-families of one group, 
chiefly on account of Pelobius, " a natatorial Amphizoid," which must either 
form a fresh family, or unite all the rest) Rhyssodidte and Gyrinidm. 
Clavicornes; Hydrophilidce^ Leptinidce {sinterior angles of thorax pro- 
jecting under the head), Platypsyllidce, Splucriidce^ Trichopterygidoi^ 
Staphylinidce {Piestides queried as approaching the Cucujid(E), Pselaphidce, 
Silphidce (" Clambus is probably a family, and also Leptoderus''')^ Brathi- 
nidce (" Form of Scydmcenus, but differing by the middle and posterior 
r;ox8e, and evidently forming a distinct family"), Scydmcenida , Corylo- 
phidce, Scaphidiidce^ Latridiidce^ Derodontidm (including Peltastica and 
Phlceophilus), Dermestidce, Endomychidce , TriphylUdce {—Mycetophagidce),
